WHAT IS A DISCIPLE?

At Calvary, we believe God has tasked the church with making disciples that make disciples.  In order for us to accomplish this task, we must first understand what a disciple is.

Simply put, a disciple is someone who knows Christ, commits to Christ, and follows Christ.

On the graphic below, we have given a broader definition of those three characteristics.

While we understand that it's impossible to live up to each of these characteristics perfectly, we believe that we honor God by striving to live out these characteristics in our daily life.
