At Newlife, we are committed to raising up healthy, Spirit-filled disciples.
Jesus calls us to be disciples who raise up disciples. 2 Timothy 2:2 says, “‘And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.’” Discipleship is an intentional process that involves declaring and demonstrating. That is, declaring the truths of Scripture combined with demonstrating ministry as found in the Bible. This is continuing the ministry of Jesus in word and deed. Tuesday evenings is one of the times we have set aside to train disciples through a series of five courses that we offer.
Below is a description of three of the courses. Because a significant part of the class is ministering in table groups, it is essential that you consult your calendar before signing up to ensure you can attend all classes.

Have you ever felt disconnected from the love of the Father?
Are you hungry for more but not sure how to walk in it?

7 PILLARS OF HEALTH
The 7 Pillars of Health are woven throughout our discipleship process and focus on helping people become healthy in every area of their lives. We focus on seven different areas of health in order to further that process: spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, relational, sexual and financial. We believe that if a person gets healthy in these seven areas, they can step into the life God has called them to live, one that is purposeful, passionate and fulfilled.
The 7 Pillars of Health are incorporated into our Life Group studies, Sunday morning teachings and embedded in the DNA of our church as we are passionate about teaching people to be healthy and holy followers of Jesus. We believe that every believer should get healthy as a result of their walk with Jesus.
“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24

Discipleship Testimonials
Hear from some of our past students!
Thiago L.
“Discipleship Essentials opened a door that helped me discover my true identity, taught me good habits, and continues to guide me in keeping my mind and walk with God healthy. Through Discipleship Essentials and the help of the coaches I was able to find answers to all of the questions that had been weighing me down.”
Kayla P.
“In the Discipleship Essentials class I came to a full realization of why God sent His son to the cross to die for us. I felt something click in my mind and finally understood the significance of the cross. That realization allowed me to learn about my spiritual identity and how God sees me according to His Word.”
