Welcome to Discovery Bible Fellowship


Generational Discipleship


Outreach Events

Events designed to develop relationships with un-churched members of our community. Examples: sports tournaments, school vacation camps, artist series, special outings-tours etc.

Community Involvement

Each member will be encouraged to be connected with some secular community organization on a volunteer basis. Examples: Lion's Club, coaching hockey, teaching piano, working at the food bank etc.

Kid's Club/Better Together

This would be a mid-week program for College & Career and Young Families in which the adults would have an Equipping program while the children (0-11) have an Establishing Kid's Club. It would be staffed by older adults and teens.

Mid-Week Worship

This program, offered once a week, during the day would include traditional worship and teaching and would be staffed largely by staff and retirees.

Fellowship Events

These activities are meant to foster community across generational lines. Examples: Fellowship Meals, Square Dances, Picnics etc.

Life Courses

Sessions designed to address specific issues. Examples: Substance Abuse, Grieving, Single Parenting, Parenting, Marriage Enrichment, Finance Management etc. These six-week groups would be offered as seems appropriate.

Discovery Courses

These equipping courses will include training in Membership, Baptism, Marriage Preparation, Evangelism, SHAPE etc. These six-week courses would be offered at regular intervals over the course of the year.

Seasonal Program

These children's programs would be season specific and include drama and music. Examples: Christmas Pageant, Easter Program etc.

Gender Programs

These adult programs are intergenerational, gender-specific and allow for fellowship and gender-focused ministry and outreach.

Mentoring

These adult relationships match mature believers with new believers with the objective of fostering one-on-one discipleship.

Expectations


In an effort to be consistent with our value of Balanced Lifestyles, a typical week for a member would include one activity from each of the discipleship categories. For example:
