Hyde Park United Methodist is intentional about helping people become and grow as disciples of Christ. Our Discipleship Pathway is a framework that lays out how we believe this happens.

Five Foundational Elements:

1. Defining disciple

A “follower of Jesus” — what does that mean?

2. Stages of growth

Looking at our relationship with Jesus

3. The three roles

God’s, the church's and the individual’s

4. Spiritual practices

Through which God changes us and we grow closer to him

• prayer and meditation
  
• reflection on scripture
• financial generosity
• invitational evangelism
• corporate worship
• small group community
• gifts-based service

5. God’s plan

Our response becomes part of his redeeming work in the world
