Study to show thyself approved unto God.
(II Timothy 22:15)
The Discipleship Ministry is the teaching arm of the church purposed to promote and supervise
the Christian training and development of the membership. The function of the discipleship ministry is to provide instruction in the Word of God and to support the primary mission of the church — making disciples for Christ. The Ministries housed under the umbrella of the Discipleship Ministry ensure that disciples of all ages, with different interests and needs are nurtured to witness a new life in Christ.
Mission
The Mission of the Shaw Temple Discipleship Ministry supports the church mission to provide spiritual direction, community development and individual empowerment through evangelism, worship, service, and fellowship. We employ resources to educate, equip and encourage God’s children for kingdom building. “The Kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21) implies the intentional process of making disciples from the inside out. An open invitation is extended to all who would come and connect with Jesus to deepen prayer life, develop family ties, and gain inspiration through God’s Word. Our visionary Pastor, dynamic ministerial team, and cadre of commissioned teachers and staff are Transformed to teach and teaching to transform.

The ultimate goal of the ministry is to produce Kingdom citizens.
