Disciples are people who follow a specific teacher, learn from him, imitate him, and spend their time with him. The best disciples would even begin to walk with the same gait as their teachers and be covered in the dust from their teacher’s sandals because they followed so closely to him. As disciples of Christ, we model our lives after his first disciples.
One of Jesus’ first acts in beginning His public ministry was to form His small group (Matthew 4:18-22, Luke 6:13). The son of God certainly did not need the companionship or assistance of the disciples. Yet, from the very beginning, He elected to establish and minister within a framework of interpersonal relationships.
At Queen of Peace we are building an authentic Catholic culture and community where we share all of life together. Where the fullness of the Catholic Faith is proclaimed, celebrated, and lived, a culture of discipleship! Part of how we can accomplish this dream is to support and equip the faithful of our parish to form small groups where relationships are strengthened. Over the last 4 years we have been not only focusing on starting discipleship groups for adults and students, but also on training, equipping and supporting those who are stepping up to start and lead these groups. If you want to receive that kind of training and support, we are here to do just that for YOU! We have multiple discipleship groups for youth and adults that meet on an on-going basis. Other groups often come available seasonally and we always welcome new ideas and new leaders for public or private groups!
