Discipleship Leader Application

Thank you for taking the time to sign up as a Discipleship Leader at Fellowship! We believe that our Groups (Connect, Rooted, Alpha, and LifeGroups) are the lifeline and heart of our church. We are excited to get to know you better as we both prayerfully consider if this role is a good fit relationally, emotionally, and theologically.

Role: Discipleship Leaders facilitate a circle where the 4Gs - Gospel, Grow, Gather, Give - can come alive. They create safe spaces where people are known and cared for. We believe that our leaders are shepherds, servants, and facilitators.

can we talk about Christianity real quick?

Our church is founded on specific beliefs that guide and propel our ministry. As shepherds, we believe our group leaders are an extension of our ministry efforts, and must therefore share those same beliefs. If you have any questions about what we believe at Fellowship, please check out our website.

GOD: I believe that there is only one living and true God, who exists in three distinct persons — God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19).

Yes No

THE FATHER: The first person of the Trinity orders and directs all things according to His purpose and pleasure (Matthew 6:9, John 5:19-24, Ephesians 1:3-6, Ephesians 2:1-10).

Yes No

THE SON: Jesus Christ is God, both the eternal Son of God and virgin-born Son of man (John 1:14-18, 1 Corinthians 15, Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 2:9, Revelations 20:11-15).

Yes No

THE HOLY SPIRIT: The Holy Spirit is God, third person of the Trinity executes the will of God in this world through humanity, by leading, guiding, filling, teaching, and convicting (John 3:1-8, 16:5-16, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 1:1, 2:10, Galatians 5:16-25).

Yes No

HUMANITY: We were created in the image of God, destined to enjoy an intimate relationship with God, fulfilling His will here on earth (Genesis 1-3, Romans 1: 18-32, 3, 5, Ephesians 2:1-3).

Yes No

SALVATION: We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins as the only sufficient sacrifice, offering the atonement of sins for all mankind through His death, burial, and resurrection (John 1:12, 14:6, 3:16, Titus 3:4-7, Acts 4:12, Romans 3:21-26, Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-9, Hebrews 10:10-12, Galatians 3:26).

Yes No

THE SCRIPTURES: We believe that every word in the original writings is inspired by God and is without error (II Timothy 3:16–17, II Peter 1:20–21, Hebrews 4:12, John 17:17).

Yes No

THE CHURCH: For all who have placed their faith in God through His Son Jesus Christ, they are a part of the universal body of believers known as the church (Hebrews 10:24–25, Acts 2:41–47, I Corinthians 12–14, Matthew 28:18– 20, Ephesians 2:19–22, I Thessalonians 4:15–17).

Yes No

THE FUTURE: We believe that the next great event in human history will be the return of Jesus Christ for His children (Matthew 24:36, I Thessalonians 4:15–17, John 14:1–3, Matthew 24–25).

Yes No

I affirm that the doctrines of the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the bodily resurrection, the atoning work of Christ on the cross, and salvation by grace through faith make up the essential, distinctive nature of Christianity.

Yes No

leader standards

commitment

As a ministry, we deeply value training and development. A few times per year, we will ask you to take some time to grow in your leadership and bond as a team. Trainings will generally happen regularly and best fitted to this season. We will ask you in advance so that you can plan to attend. Outside of our ministry training, we also believe that as people of faith, there are important ways we each need to grow and develop. We ask volunteers to yearly take in at least one of our Fellowship opportunities to grow (eg. Racial Reconciliation Workshop, a Mission Experience, etc).

Do you agree to plan ahead to attend our specific training & development events each year?

Yes I am committed to continuing my development as a leader and attending trainings to the best of my ability No

staying connected

It’s important for you to feel like you are a part of the team, that’s part of what makes serving so great! In order to foster this, your LifeGroup Team is committed to checking in with you regularly. They will connect with you about ministry and are always prepared to help equip and encourage you in your area of service. It’s important that this is mutual! To help us do our jobs well, we ask you to commit to reading and responding to emails. We also ask that you be willing to share with us about your life. We know that what goes on in your week affects how you serve. We want to both celebrate and pray with you.
