Vision
Wooddale Church exists to honor God by making more disciples for Jesus Christ. Our LifeGroup ministry enhances that vision by helping disciples grow in a relational environment, with an intentional leader and a reproducing process.
What is a disciple?
In Matthew 4:19, Jesus said, “Follow me, and I will make your fishers of men.”
A Disciple of Jesus Christ is someone who is:
-
- actively following Jesus (“follow me”)
- being changed by Jesus (“and I will make you”)
- committed to the mission of Jesus (“fishers of men”)
Mission
For Wooddale’s LifeGroup ministry to be the primary conduit for people to walk the pathway toward spiritual maturity.
