What is Discipleship Evangelism?

The Lord calls us to make disciples. The name “Disciple” or “disciples,” in the Bible refers to those who truly believed in Jesus. The Lord intended for each of us to produce disciples and being a disciple is God’s plan for every Christian including YOU.

Do you want to fulfill the Great Commission but wonder how? Then explore the Discipleship Evangelism course. This weekly 90-minute study will equip you to grow in your faith and impact others with the life-changing power of God's Word.

Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." - Matthew 28:19

Like many believers, you may be thinking, I have no idea how to disciple anyone. You may feel unprepared or inadequate in fulfilling that command. If you do, there is good news for you: If you can understand a few basis concepts, you can change a life!  Your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers need you. They may not know it, but you have the answers to the most important questions in their lives. All you've needed is the right tool. This tool has been designed so that anyone, at anytime, anywhere can reach an unbeliever, disciple a new believer, or grow with others in the Lord.

This 16-week group study is taken from Andrew Wommack’s full study guide called The Complete Discipleship Evangelism 48-Lesson Course. These simple topics will take you through the foundational truths of Christianity. It’s simple, it’s easy, and it’s effective.
All you do is read a short story, ask prepared questions, discuss the answers with the group by looking up scriptures (provided on the weekly handouts or review in your own Bible), and then watch God work in your life and  the life of people around you. Start unlocking the power of God's Word in every area of your life.

The Discipleship Evangelism Bible Study is designed so that anyone, at anytime, anywhere can reach an unbeliever, study with others, or grow in their own personal relationship with the Lord.

Topics covered in this course include:

Eternal Life
Salvation by Grace
Righteousness by Grace
Relationship with God
The Nature of God
Repentance
Commitment
Water Baptism
Identity in Christ - Part 1
Identity in Christ - Part 2
What Happens When a Christian Sins
Integrity of God’s Word
God’s Not Guilty
The Power of a Spirit-Filled Life
How to Receive the Holy Spirit
The Benefits of Speaking in Tongues


Discipleship is a lifelong journey.
This course is for you if you:
- Are a new believer
- Are new to Christianity
- Were recently baptized, (in the past 2 years)
- If you are not confident talking to others about Jesus Christ
- Have never explored Discipleship before
- Are a life-long follower of Christ or mature Christian, and desire to mentor others and share your knowledge and experiences as an experienced Disciple.
- Are feeling called to lead others closer to Christ (consider participating in this class so you can lead it next time)
- If you have friends whom you’d like to help them explore Christianity, sign up yourself and bring them.
- Want to meet new people and make new friends.

There is always something new to glean from the living Word of the Lord.

These are the fundamental pillars that construct HC Life.  Our life groups are the heartbeat of Harvest Church and they exist so that every person that visits or attends can find some unique way to get connected, to serve, and to grow.  Whether you are looking for bible studies, fun activities, volunteer opportunities, or discipleships that encourage and strengthen our relationships, we whole-heartedly believe there is a place for you!

What is baptism?
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward commitment made to Christ.
Baptism does not make you a believer - it shows that you already believe.
Baptism does not "save" you, only your faith in Christ does. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Baptism does not wash away your sins, it symbolizes that Christ washed them away. Baptism is like a wedding ring, it's the outward expression of the commitment you have made in your heart.

Why should I be baptized?
To follow Christ's example. (Mark 1:9)
To obey Christ's command. (Matthew 28:19-20)
To show you are a Christ-follower. (Acts 18:8, 1 John 2:3, Matthew 10:32)
To identify with Christ's death, burial and resurrection. (Romans 6:3-5)
To illustrate your new life in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 6:4)
Your baptism is a public testimony of your faith in and commitment to Christ.

How should I be baptized?
The biblical examples of baptism were done by immersion or being submerged briefly under water. Jesus Himself was baptized by immersion according to Matthew 3:16.
 
Immersion best symbolizes death and new life which is the imagery of baptism. In Romans 6:3-5 we find that baptism is symbolic of death, burial and resurrection.
 
When should I be baptized?
After you give your life to Christ. (Acts 2:38, Acts 35-38) As soon as you have given your life to Christ and have received Him as your Savior, you can and should be baptized.

At what age is a child ready to be baptized?
The Bible gives no age for when a child is ready to be baptized. For baptism to be a meaningful experience and expression of faith, its significance should be understood. Our desire is for a child to understand this important step of baptism in his/her life.
 
In child development, typically when children reach the age of 8 or 9, they gain the ability to understand abstract concepts. That being said, each baptism should be determined on a child-by-child basis and we ask that parents and child(ren) meet with Nate Rockwell, our Harvest Kids Ministry Director, prior to attend the Pre-Celebration class.

What takes place at a baptism?
At the beginning of a baptism service the pastor will pray and then briefly explain the meaning of baptism. One of the pastors will introduce you and the other participants and share a brief description of your testimony. When it is your turn to be baptized, you will get into the water and walk to the end of the baptismal tank. The pastor baptizing you will say, "I baptize you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." The person baptizing you will briefly lower you backwards under the water and then raise you back up. You can then leave, towel off, change clothes and/or watch others being baptized.

What if I have special needs? 
Baptism is a public profession of our faith in Jesus Christ. However, private baptism can be performed in special circumstances. Please contact us for more information or details.

Ready To Get Baptized? 
For those who desire to be baptized, the following information is provided to prepare you for this very meaningful step of faith. First, you need to sign up. Once you sign up, we will contact you to ask some questions, hear your story, invite you to our Pre-Celebration class (required in order to be baptized) and give you a few instructions about baptism. We conduct baptisms on Sunday morning about once a quarter.

The next Child Dedication will be on August 20th, 2023.
