Modern Day Disciples - Urban cityscape
A 52-Week Journey in Scripture

Modern Day
Disciples

Know Jesus deeply. Follow Him daily. Live on mission in the power of the Holy Spirit.

About the Study

A Year of Transformation

Modern Day Disciples is a 52-week journey through Scripture designed to form men and women, students and children into wholehearted followers of Jesus who know Him deeply, follow Him daily, and live on mission in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Led by Pastor Steve Tolbert and the ministerial staff, each month builds on the last: from responding to Jesus' call, to serving in love, growing in prayer, living in resurrection power, building community, raising the next generation, walking in freedom, and fixing our eyes on Jesus as the Light in the darkness.

Bible study in a modern urban setting
From Pastor Steve Tolbert

"My heart for this journey is simple: I want to see our people formed into modern-day disciples — men and women, students and children — who know Jesus deeply, follow Him daily, and live on mission in the power of the Holy Spirit."

This guide is designed to walk us, week by week, through Scripture and into real-life obedience. My prayer is that a year from now, we will look back and say, "Only God could have done what He has done in us and through us."

With love and expectancy,
Pastor Steve Tolbert
