At Bethel, we believe that learning is a lifestyle and a life long process.  Following Jesus means we are his “disciples”, which means we are his apprentices in carrying out his work and commission to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-19). A disciple is a disciplined and devoted follower of Jesus Christ who takes what he/she learns and becomes a disciple-maker who teaching and modeling to people everything he has commanded us (v.19).  While there are many contexts for learning at Bethel (Celebration Service, Cell Groups), our classes follow a process of discipleship and leadership development which have a two-fold purpose:

1. Spiritual growth and formation  “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ”

2. Equip and empower people to be faithful and effective disciple-makers in today’s world.

The classes taught here at Bethel are meant to be wholistic learning, involving the HEAD (mind), HEART(faith) HANDS (practical application)
