Course Description (highlights on our journey) "The Pastor and Christian Discipleship" points us in several directions (which is appropriate, since pastors and Christian educators are usually running in about a dozen on any given day).

Welcome to Foundations of Christian Discipleship. I am so glad you have elected to take this course. While the title of the course suggests a beginning point, I want you to know that it will be broader than just a beginning point. By the end of the semester you will have developed a better understanding of what it means to help the church develop into a stronger, more intelligent, spiritually deep family of believers who are able to articulate their faith. However, do not make the mistake of thinking this is a specialized course. It is a course that broadly …
