WHAT ARE THE MARKS OF A DISCIPLE?

Spiritual growth is the ongoing process by which an individual becomes more like Christ in their character, relationships, and mission.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2 (NIV)

No church can force discipleship, but every church can create conditions condusive and designed to inspire and equip people to move forward in their faith journey. 

“As a first-time lead pastor, I’ve found Gavin’s breadth of church leadership experience invaluable. I’ve been able to benefit from his years of experience so that I can spend less time with trial-and-error and more time executing on what we know will work. We’ve been able to accomplish a lot in a short period of time, and Gavin has played a big part in what God has done in our church.”

– Josh Carlson, Senior Pastor, Gulf Church – Naples, FL
