There’s a lot of confusion in the Church today as a variety of terms are used to describe the support, development, and participation in a process for growing maturing disciples of Jesus Christ. At EMC3 Coaching, the terms Discipleship Pathway and Discipleship System have become our standard terminology.

A Discipleship Pathway refers to the steps in a process encouraging the disciple to experience the transforming grace of God that moves us toward a life where we reflect the lifestyle modeled by Jesus and taught by Scripture.

A Discipleship System refers to the support functions of all areas of ministry in the development of growing maturing disciples. The focus of this unit is the development of a Discipleship System.
