Are you a Disciple? Discipleship is: “A process that takes place within accountable relationships over a period of time for the purpose of bringing believers to spiritual maturity in Christ.”
God never intended His people to be warehoused inside a church building – He commissioned us to go, grow and get involved.
Our challenge is to go to the next step in growing, serving, and reaching out. In order to do so, you must first think about where you are. The diagram and following explanation may help you to answer that question.
WHERE We are ambassadors from God to the world. Our involvement with others can diminish fears and break down the barriers of those who resist coming close to God.

Like Christ
God wants us to be servants. Jesus said in Matthew 20:28 that He came “to serve, not to be served.”
God wants us to be a community. Home Groups are small groups that allow us to grow close enough to those in our group that they know us, strengthen us, and support us as we apply what we are learning together.
God wants us to be worshippers AND students. Sunday school allows people to ask questions, get answers, share ideas and pray for each other.
Worship Service or Celebration Service, is a great place to start. It is exciting to be a part of a worship gathering with hundreds of Christians praising God and studying His Word.
Jesus said in Luke 6:40 “everyone who is fully trained will be like His teacher.” That teacher for us is Jesus Christ. Cornerstone Christian Church | 8930 Indiana 267 │ Brownsburg, IN 46112 │ 317.852.2411 │ www.cornerstonerock.org
