The whole point of our program is to train and develop greater disciples of Jesus. This was the purpose of Jesus’ ministry- to make disciples who were equipped to make other disciples. Everything we do at Adelphia is modeled after how Jesus made disciples.
Classes
One of the most basic elements of how Jesus made disciples was by faithfully teaching from Scripture (Luke 24:27, 45). Knowing God’s Word is imperative! That is why the main focus of the first two terms at Adelphia is the study and application of Scripture. We focus on the story of the Bible as a whole and also go deeper to focus on individual elements of the gospel story. Every week we bring in a local area pastor- with the qualifications of being faithful to God’s Word and an active disciple-maker themselves- to teach classes on a variety of biblical topics and books. These classes encourage a greater knowledge of Scripture and a life of application and obedience.
Adelphia is not an accredited school so classes are very practical and hands on.
Community
A second important piece of how Jesus made disciples was by living life with them. Jesus and His followers actually lived together, ate together, travelled together, served together, and ministered together. Similarly, Adelphia provides the opportunity to actually do life along with other disciples, with Jesus at the center. This is what motivates us to spend intentional time each week learning to serve, going into the city to do outreach ministry, and developing an authentic community where love is put into action daily.
