What is Discipleship?
A mandate given by Jesus to go into the world and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:19).
The elements of discipleship are seen clearly in Acts 2:42, 46 - Believers continuously devoting themselves to teaching and fellowship, sharing in the Lord’s Supper, and in prayer. They worshipped together at the Temple and met in homes.

What is a Disciple?
A person who’s character is being shaped into the character of God.
