Course description
Have you ever wanted to help a younger Christian to grow spiritually but didn’t know how? Is there something more to do other than being a friend and giving encouragement? What is mentoring, and how does it relate to making disciples? In this course, we will explore these questions and learn how to come alongside someone to help them become a mature follower of Jesus.
This course is especially recommended for fellowship/ministry leaders, small group leaders, youth counselors and spiritual growth trainers.
Course pre-requisites
· You must be a growing Christian
· If you are not yet baptized, you are encouraged to be baptized soon in obedience to Christ’s command
· You should have taken the Personal Spiritual Growth course or equivalent (ask Pastor Ken about exceptions)
