What is the Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program?

The Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program is a two-part life changing program to promote spiritual growth that moves us from membership to fellowship to discipleship. It consists of: (1) the Eight-Step Program that guides each member to become an effective Christian disciple and steward; and (2) Boot Camp, a Bible Study series presented by the ministerial staff on-line and in the classroom.

Why Should I be interested in a discipleship development program?

Discipleship training is for all of God's people. This program is designed to meet you where you are in your spiritual walk and move you to a new level in spiritual maturity. Pastor Washington believes and teaches that we should desire and strive for excellence in ministry -- rooted in a disciplined relationship with God, grounded with integrity and guided with intentional actions. The more we grow and engage in effective ministry together the more we are able to accomplish the impossible, and the world will know that we are Christ?s disciples because of the love we show for others.

How does the Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program work?

Under the umbrella of the Discipleship Development Program, members are guided through self-assessment of spiritual growth. To complete the Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program is to complete Boot Camp and accomplish the specific actions outlined in the Eight-Step Program guide.

What are the Eight Steps?

The Eight-Steps guide members through self-assessment of spiritual growth. These steps provide a process that starts at the time you join the church through New Members Orientation, Bible Study, the Andrew Plan, ministry involvement, evangelism, and ministry leadership. The specific expectations and actions for each step are outlined in the booklet entitled, The Reid Temple Eight-Step Discipleship Development Program.
