Discipleship Pathway
Discipleship isn't a destination; it's a daily move toward the center of God's kingdom. No matter your starting point—exploring, growing, or hurting—we have a course to help you take your next step.
Unit Descriptions
Discipleship requires community. Our units are offered repeatedly throughout the year on different days and times. Each unit meets weekly and lasts between 4 and 12 weeks. The list of units below is our recommended order for the pathway; however, detours are common and okay. Taking them out of order on occassion will not prevent you from moving to the center of God’s kingdom. Before you embark on this journey, however, we recommend you check out Flatland 101. This will equip you with important tools and information for a successful journey toward the center of God’s kingdom.

Check out the upcoming classes!
Although we would love to offer every class every day, we don’t have that option so instead we try to spread them evenly through out the year and rotate their times. So if you see a class on a Sunday night you wanted to take but are never free on Sundays? No worries! The next time its scheduled it will be in a different time slot.
