Camarillo Community Church Retool Discipleship

Team Mission:

Build an ever-expanding community of fully devoted Christ followers.

Vision for the Next Three Years: IGNITE spiritual passion, CONNECT

families, and EQUIP disciples with God’s transformational truth.

EQUIP Followers of ChristThrough Intentional

Discipleship“Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

Why “go and make disciples”?

To be a fully devoted follower of Christ (part of our church mission statement).

To teach, model, encourage, and be accountable.

Our Current Strengths to “Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.”

Large group Sunday Morning Mid-sized community groups Small groups Triads Individual quiet time with God (SOAP)

What we need: More mid-sized community class offerings for

fellowship and practical in-depth Bible teaching. More emphasis on intentional and natural get-

togethers of 2-3 people (triad).

Triads of 3 people meeting for accountability

Small Groups of 5 to 15 people for spiritual formation

Sunday Celebration Service Large Groupsfor Unity and Worship

Mid-Sized Community Groups 15 to 50+ people for teaching and fellowship

Individually – Personal time with God (SOAP)

What are we changing?

1. Clarify the pathway, to grow in spiritual maturity to be more like Jesus.

What is the definition of a disciple? What does a disciple look like?

2. Build on our strengths and strengthen our areas of need for discipleship paths.

What is Our Strategy (Overall Plan)?

Fulfill all of the Great Commission: Go AND make disciples. Make people aware of the clear pathway on their

journey to spiritual maturity. Continue to strengthen the body of Christ at

CCC: Build on our focus on large groups, small groups and

spending individual time with God in Scripture (SOAP).

Build up the body of mid-sized community groups. Develop a strategy to encourage triad formation

within our church community.

Journey on the pathway from explorer to new believer. Then learn the basic next steps to continue advancing onto maturity.
