Discipleship School of South Jersey

VISION:

To EQUIP current disciples (and potential future lay leaders) from multiple South Jersey churches to be Christlike, disciple-making apprentices of Jesus.

MISSION:

To facilitate learning and growth in Christlikeness among Jesus’ disciples- in an equipping and sending school for the South Jersey region and beyond.

DESCRIPTION:

• The Discipleship School of South Jersey (DSSJ) is an equipping and sending school, focused on facilitating growth and learning of Jesus' disciples.
• We have a three-pronged approach:
  • Truth anchored to the Bible;
  • Community- a gathering place and ongoing small groups discussions where authentic, loving & supportive relationships can develop life-on-life;
  • Practice- a culture of intentionally practicing spiritual disciplines as outlined in God's Word to shape our beliefs and behaviors 
• The school is scheduled to meet once a month on a Saturday (after the initial "One-Day" Intro in the Fall of 2024) in a large in-person group setting where teachers from regional church bodies in a collaborative effort with the DSSJ vision and mission, will facilitate a year-long syllabus.
• In addition, students will be assigned a small group to practice biblical truth and community together throughout each month. 
• We believe the Lord will enable the school to build up His church in South Jersey, which will also result in many more lost people coming to new life in Christ.
