Discipling Christians through a Guided New Testament Reading Program and Short-Term Small Group Experience
Abstract
This Doctor of Ministry Project addressed the need of Heath Church of Christ of
Heath, Ohio to create a discipleship program for new and mature Christians. The
discipleship program consisted of participants reading through the New Testament over a
six-month period, answering daily application questions concerning the day's assigned
reading, and meeting once a month as a group to discuss the biblical meaning of
discipleship in light of the previous month's study. The conclusions of this project
suggest that reading the New Testament intentionally and in a communal setting can
contribute to a Christian's understanding of discipleship and personal conviction to
become a more faithful disciple of Jesus.
