Discipleship formation, at its heart, is the lifelong journey of becoming more like Jesus Christ. It’s a process of transformation, where we move from simply knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him, loving Him, and living as He lived. This isn’t a passive endeavor; it requires active engagement, intentionality, and a willingness to be shaped by the Holy Spirit. A holistic approach to discipleship recognizes that growth occurs across multiple dimensions of our lives. This introduction will explore how the interwoven practices of study, serve, and faith provide a robust framework for discipleship formation.  

By integrating these three pillars—study, serve, and faith—we create a dynamic and transformative process that fosters genuine discipleship. This approach moves beyond mere information acquisition to a holistic development of our character, actions, and relationship with God.
