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
Dynamic Marriage Workshop
For all our differences, men and women want the same thing: satisfying, loving relationships. How can you experience a lifetime of love, fulfillment, and intimacy in your marriage? By learning habits that meet the most important emotional needs of yourself and your spouse. The Dynamic Marriage Workshop helps committed couples sustain happy, fulfilling relationships that grow stronger each year while bringing hope and healing to troubled marriages. The eight weeks of work gives each couple time to learn how to stop damaging behaviors in their marriage, deal with conflict, and learn to meet each other’s emotional needs. Because of the nature of the course, the Dynamic Marriage Workshop is limited to twelve couples and will be filled on a “first to sign-up” basis. Visit the Young Adults & Families page for more information. The Rev. Tony and Cherie Welty will co-facilitate the course.

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 The Rev. Tony Welty at 385-2150
