Discipleship at Elloree First Baptist Church
At Elloree First Baptist Church, we believe that discipleship is the lifelong journey of growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ. This process is not only about learning but also about transformation through the power of the Holy Spirit. As we walk with Christ, we are called to become more like Him in every aspect of our lives. Here’s how we understand discipleship:
1. Growing in Relationship with Jesus Christ through the Guidance of the Holy Spirit
Discipleship begins with a deepening relationship with Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit, we are led, taught, and empowered to live in alignment with God's will. It is by the Spirit's guidance that we learn to understand God's word, live out our faith, and grow in spiritual maturity.
2. Daily Engagement with Scripture
God’s Word is foundational to our discipleship journey. We believe that Scripture is not just for learning, but for living. Regular engagement with the Bible shapes our minds, renews our hearts, and strengthens our faith. Through Scripture, we gain wisdom, find encouragement, and are reminded of God's promises.
3. Prayer
Prayer is our constant communication with God. It’s not only about asking, but also about listening, praising, and seeking His will. Discipleship calls us to prayerfully seek God’s direction in all things, and to align our hearts with His purposes. Through prayer, we grow in intimacy with Christ and strengthen our reliance on Him.
4. Obedience
Discipleship is lived out through obedience to God's commands. As we grow in relationship with Jesus, we are called to follow Him faithfully in every area of life. Obedience is not about legalism, but about responding to God’s love with a heart that desires to honor and please Him in all things.
5. Bearing Fruit by Loving Others and Helping Them Grow in Their Faith
True discipleship is marked by transformation that overflows into the lives of others. Jesus calls us to love one another, serve one another, and help others grow in their faith. We believe that as we grow in Christ, we become agents of change in our communities, sharing the love and truth of Jesus with those around us.
At Elloree First Baptist Church, we are committed to walking alongside one another in this process of discipleship. Whether through worship, Bible study, prayer, service, or fellowship, we believe that each step of the journey helps us grow closer to Jesus and more fully reflect His love to the world.
If you are looking to take the next step in your walk with Christ, we invite you to join us as we strive to grow together in faith and obedience to the call of Jesus.
