Biblical Foundation for Relationship
As we see in Scripture and lived out in our own experiences, God does everything in the context of relationships (Genesis 1:26-27). We were created for relationships with Him and others (Genesis 2:18, Jeremiah 9:23-24; 24:7; John 17:20-26). Even His commands are relational (Exodus 20:1-27; Matthew 22:37-40). The Christian is to be living out his/her faith in the context of relationships (Galatians 5:22-26).
God also gave the church a purpose, a calling, a commission (Matthew 28:18-20). We are to make disciples. This is to be the mission of the church.

Process of Discipleship
How do we seek to accomplish the mission and vision of the church? The discipleship process is what we affectionately call the discipleship wheel (see below). Our desire is to Help people to a relationship with God and others. To help them grow to be all God has for them (Ephesians 4:11-16). This begins as we SHARE, CONNECT, MINISTER, and DISCIPLE.
