Adult Discipleship

What is Discipleship?

Jesus used a vital and important word for those who followed him: disciple. Disciple conveys the idea of learner, student, apprentice. We believe that learning and growth in Christ take a lifetime, that we are called to a lifestyle of discipleship. What we have been for several years calling Christian formation we will now refer to as discipleship.

Please take time to review the sections of the website dedicated to adult, student, and youth discipleship opportunities for the coming months.

The Rev. Timothy Jones

Christian Leadership Concepts (CLC)

Big commitments most often yield big benefits. Such is the case with a growing men’s discipleship ministry at St. George’s. The groups, referred to as “CLC Groups,” utilize materials developed
and provided by Christian Leadership Concepts, a Brentwood based organization. Each group is comprised of up to 12 men and covers everything from becoming “a man after God’s own heart” to
learning how to “stand with a friend” to “reforming our community.” Each group is free to establish its own meeting schedule, though most meet together early one weekday morning for 2 hours. The CLC groups are an excellent combination of fellowship, Bible study, in-depth discussions, and developing lasting friendships. If you’re looking for a way to intentionally grow as a man who follows Jesus Christ, you need look no further.

For more information or to register for a group, please call Larry Trabue at 352-0023.


Living in Faith Everyday (LIFE)

In a LIFE group, women learn how to receive, live, and share the abundant life of Jesus Christ. It is a group focused for and about women in Christian leadership. LIFE is not a Bible Study, fellowship group, support group, accountability group, or a prayer group. It is a combination of all of these and more. We learn together, laugh together, support one another, are accountable to one another, and grapple with issues. The curriculum appeals to the mind, heart, and soul. If you can commit your time and effort to learning more about yourself, leadership, the Christian faith, and building relationships, then LIFE is for you. If you are interested, contact The Rev. Marcia King at 385-2150 x 214 or marcia.king@stgeorgesnashville.org.

 

 

Women’s Huddle Groups

A “Huddle” is a challenging accountability group. In a Women’s Huddle we:

  • Hear stories of God at work in the lives of the Huddle members
  • Hear stories of God at work in their missional situations
  • See positive changes in character in response to God’s initiative
  • See skills develop and flourish
  • People grow in self awareness and maturity
  • Laugh, celebrate, and have fun together

The key questions asked are: What is God saying to you at this time? What are you going to do about it? If you would like to be part of forming a new Huddle, please contact The Rev. Marcia King at 385-2150 x 214 or marcia.king@stgeorgesnashville.org.

 

 

Community Groups

 

Community Groups

Do you ever feel like a "lost sheep in the very place where you thought you'd feel more connected to other people? One way to stay vitally connected to others is to join a Community Group, a monthly gathering of friends who meet together for food, fun, and fellowship in one another's homes. Be on the look out for a Community Group coming to a neighborhood near you!

Newcomers Orientation

Occasional classes to introduce participants to the basics of the Christian faith, the distinctives of the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, the history of St. George’s, and the shape of a growing Christian life. Watch for more details or call the church office at 385-2150 to find out more.
