Which one of these best describes your prayer life?
*
I pray because I’m prompted by an occasion, such as before a meal or at bedtime.
I would describe my prayer life as relational. I have a relationship with Christ and this is how I communicate.
Prayer is a way of life for me. I don’t just speak; I seek to listen to God even beyond my areas of comfort.
Where do you have room to grow in your prayer life?
*
I don’t know how to pray well. I am not sure if God is listening.
I struggle with what to do when my prayers feel unanswered.
Prayer is central to my faith and is more about God's will than my own.

I actively mentor others to participate with me in the work of Christ in the world.
How does your faith inform your understanding of presence at church?
*
Participation in corporate worship doesn’t feel essential. I have a relationship with Jesus and that’s good enough.

*
I am uncertain how my non-monetary gifts are useful to God and/or the church. Also, while I am financially comfortable, I donate to the ministry occasionally.

Giving is a spiritual discipline for me. I give sacrificially of all that I have.

I know Jesus says to give, so I share my time, talents, and resources when I can.

I’m seeking ways to live my life for the sake of others. I want to fully surrender to God.

*
I do not talk about my faith with others.
I will talk about God with someone I know well. I may not talk about my faith, but I attempt to show it through my actions.
I cannot avoid sharing my faith in Christ and telling of what God has done for me.
In what ways are you looking to grow in sharing your witness?
*
I am unsure what I am bearing witness to.
I want to demonstrate Christ and make Christ visible through me.

Meet Jesus
The beginning of the Discipleship Pathway is an encounter. Before we can know someone well, or model our life after them, we must meet them. The Meet Jesus phase of the Discipleship Pathway is dedicated to facilitating that encounter. Below are a few learning and serving opportunities that you can participate in as a means to grow in this phase of your relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6). We invite you to explore the meaning of this statement through the studies, classes, and worship events offered at CLUMC.
Know Jesus
The Christian faith is more than knowing about Jesus, it is about knowing Him personally. That is why Jesus prayed, “And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent,” from John 17:3. This phase is about developing that relationship. Below are some ways that you can meaningfully engage with your faith as you learn to know Christ better.
Share Jesus
The final phase of the Discipleship Pathway is to spread the Good News of Jesus with both our words and our actions. This is in line with the Great Commission, Jesus' final commandment before the Ascension (Matthew 28: 19-20). Below are meaningful ways in which you can share the Good News with our church, community, and the world at large.
