Discipleship With DCC This Fall

Uncategorized | by Pastor Justin Keogh

Downtown Cornerstone,

As we head into the fall, it can be easy for us to get caught up in the excitement and busyness of the season and miss out on the mega-realities we’re living in as ambassadors of Christ’s kingdom here on earth, commissioned to make disciples (Matt. 28:18-20). Discipleship – doing spiritual good to others, that they might grow more in Christ’s image – is at the heart of the Christian life, and grounds all that we do as a church.

Our prayer is that everyone in DCC would be relationally connected and intentionally growing, and there are many ways to do that this fall!

BIBLE STUDY

Our Midweek Bible Study takes place on Wednesdays, 7–8 pm, in the MPR downstairs. We’ll begin our study of 1 Peter on 10/16. This inductive Bible study is led by DCC pastors, who help us look at a passage of Scripture and learn what it says, what it means, and apply it to our personal lives together. Whether you’re still getting acquainted with the Bible or you’ve been reading it for years, this is a great way to grow in the application of God’s Word and is a great way to meet and connect with others in our body.

FOUNDATIONS

If you’ve not yet taken our Foundations class, start here to learn the essentials of who we are as a local church, discuss what we believe, and talk about church membership, while building relationships and community together. This class is the primary relational on-ramp into the life of our body and perfect for those looking to join community and/or be baptized. Our next session starts on October 27th, running 5 weeks on Sundays at 12pm after the gathering.

CORNERSTONE COMMUNITIES

Our Cornerstone Communities meet in the neighborhoods around Seattle throughout the week to open the Word, pray, and share life together. If you’ve already taken Foundations but have yet to get connected to a community, we’d invite you to do so now in this season! Find our current communities and get connected here:

MEN’S DISCIPLESHIP NIGHTS

Our quarterly Men’s Discipleship Nights (Fridays – Oct 25, Jan 24th, June 20th) are times to pull together as God’s men to hear from God’s Word and connect with each other. Our first event is just around the corner, in three weeks, on Friday, October 25th, at 6:30pm (dinner provided). We’re planning to share testimonies from men in our body and have an extended elder Q&A (submit and vote on questions when you register).

WOMEN’S DISCIPLESHIP BRUNCHES

Our Quarterly Women’s Discipleship Brunches this year (Saturdays – Nov 16th, Mar 15th, May 31st) will be studying the minor prophets, our first brunch focusing on Joel. You’ll hear from gifted women in our body through Scriptural exposition, testimony, and table discussion. We invite you to read the minor prophets ahead of our events, individually or in discipleship groups, with this minor prophets reading plan to help your study (printed copies are available at the connect desk). Registration is open for November 16:
