Explore Discipleship
Description
Explore is a comprehensive three-year discipleship program designed for teens in the Evangelical tradition. Dr. Andrew Evans, the Youth Leadership Director at Summit Pacific College, created this program. It's structured into six distinct phases:
1. God’s Grand Biblical Narrative
2. The Lord’s Prayer
3. The Creeds I
4. The Creeds II
5. The Decalogue
6. The Sacraments
Each phase spans over four weeks. The uniqueness lies in how each phase is interconnected, with the content of one building upon the previous one. As a result, it's important to note that students can't jump in halfway through. The journey begins at phase one and progresses from there.
