Discipleship

Become a disciple who makes disciples.

Discipleship is the heart of Stand Firm. Through Scripture, honest relationships, and intentional training, we help people become more like Jesus and help others do the same.

The Discipleship Plan Find a group

Discipleship groups

Grow in God's Word. Together.

Groups meet at different times throughout the week so there's a place for everyone. Some train and study; some study only. All of them are built on Scripture, accountability, and doing life together.

Workout & study groups

Train together, then open the Word together. These groups pair physical training with focused Bible study and meet at various times throughout the week.

Discipleship-only groups

Dedicated groups for deeper biblical growth and personal accountability, without the workout. A good fit if you want to go deep in Scripture and community.

Weeks through the New Testament

Sermon on the Mount, memorized

Join us as we follow Jesus through the entire New Testament, one week at a time for 52 weeks. We'll also take on the challenge of memorizing the Sermon on the Mount together.

Three pillars

What we stand on

Rooted in God's Word

We grow in God's Word and build our lives on an unshakable foundation. Scripture shapes what we believe, how we train, and how we live.

“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist...”Ephesians 6:13–14

Engaging in Purposeful Training

We pursue strength in body and faith through disciplined practice and by building resilience, character, and readiness to serve.

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”James 5:16

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”Proverbs 27:17

The Great Commission

Make His last words our first work.

Jesus told His followers to go and make disciples. The work begins with becoming one and choosing to help someone else follow Him.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations… And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."Matthew 28:19-20
