How do people make the journey from no experience of Christian faith to becoming a mature disciple? As people experience worship at EUM Church, they are invited to take their first step into an intentional pathway. Our Discipleship Pathway will help them on a journey of faith towards loving God and others more and becoming fully submitted followers of Christ.

Each of the six spiritual practices below are essential to your faith development. Even if one is missing there will be a gaping hole in your ability to fulfill Jesus’ greatest command to love God and others more. We have provided a notebook to encourage you in these six practices called “My Faith”. Pick one up at the Welcome Center in the Worship Center lobby for $5 or click on the "My Faith" notebook and download the materials for free to create your own.

1) Personal Devotion is our quality time with God each day and unless we spend time with God we can never truly learn to love God. So take advantage of the GPS (GrowPrayStudy) devotionals in your bulletin each week! Or check out one of the other great devotional links. (If you miss worship remember to download these from the web)
2) Corporate Worship is essential to loving God more. So make it a point not to miss a single week of passionate worship @ EUM! (Check out the new series coming up) And be sure each week to take notes during worship using the sermon notes. This little discipline will enhance your worship and draw you closer to God.
3) Sacrificial Giving is a practical expression of our love for Jesus. Giving is typically the last hold out in our walk with God. We give everything else over to Jesus but our checkbook. (Take a step by clicking on Give-On-Line. It’s under the Worshipping Together link. Why, because giving is an act of loving God and it’s a way for us to become generous by being generous! EFT’s are also a great way of making giving a FIRST priority in your life)
4) Serve/Witness is the practical expression of our love for others. Unless we are serving and witnessing we are not living out our faith in real and practical ways. (Check out Serving Others link to discover ways to share your faith in tangible genuine ways)
5) Vital Connections like Community Groups, Classes, Men's and Women’s ministry are THE primary tools for faith development. If you don’t do anything else – DO THIS! (Look under Ways To Connect, and sign up for an upcoming class, join a community group or try out a support group ministry)
6) Personal Development is a way for us to care for our bodies, challenge our minds and address our destructive behaviors. If we are not living healthy, learning more and dealing with our sin we cannot become more and more like Jesus. (Check out the Personal Development link to learn more)
