What is “Basic Discipleship Training”?

“Basic Discipleship Training” is composed of four classes we hope every member of the Middletown Church of the Nazarene will complete. These classes are intended to develop in both seekers and Christians essential knowledge and skills needed to be growing and effective servants of Jesus Christ. The classes are taught by Pastor Rogers with the help of other members of the pastoral staff.

When do the classes meet?

Most “Basic Discipleship Training” classes are scheduled for Thursday evenings. However, we will also make them available at other times to fit the needs of those who cannot attend at the scheduled times. All you have to do is call the pastor to request special times for a class.

“Discovery 101” , “Growth 201”, and “Ministry 301” are each one session classes and meet for three hours, usually from 6:00 – 9:00 PM.

“Mission 401” meets for two, 90-minute session over two consecutive weeks. These class sessions meet from 6:00 – 7:30.

Why are the class sessions so long?

This allows us to be better stewards of your time. Rather than asking you to come for two or three weeks, we are able to accomplish it all in one session. This results in less travel costs, fewer scheduling conflicts, and more efficient use of training time.

What will I learn in

“Basic Discipleship Training”?

“Discovery 101” is an introduction to the Christian faith and the Middletown Church of the Nazarene. This class serves as the “Basic Membership Class” for our church and must be completed by anyone considering becoming a member of the church.

“Growth 201” teaches you how to become a “Spirit-Filled” and growing Christian. We focus both on a deeper walk of faith in Jesus Christ along with how to develop the basic disciplines of Christian living, such as prayer, Bible study, worship, and stewardship.

“Ministry 301” will help you find your place of ministry, which is something every Christian should do. This is done discovering, developing, a using your God-given gifts and abilities to serve the Lord.

“Mission 401” trains Christians to become involved in the Mission of the church, which is to spread the gospel throughout the world. The most exciting part of this class is that you will learn how to effectively share your faith with other people.

How and when do I enroll in

“Basic Discipleship Training”?

Sign-up sheets for upcoming classes will be at the reception desk in the church foyer. You may also indicate your desire to come to class when signing the guest registers or you may call the church office to enroll. Our goal is that everyone takes all four classes. “Discovery 101” must be completed first. The other three classes may be taken in any order.

What about childcare?

Childcare will be offered for those who need it. However, those who need childcare must indicate the need ahead of time so caregivers can be scheduled.
