A summary of the gospel growth process

The Gospel Growth Process

We make contact with non-Christians, raise Christian issues with them, and seek opportunities to proclaim the gospel to them.
Once people respond to the gospel message and put their faith in Christ, initial follow-up is needed to establish them in the faith, and teach them the basics.
Then follows the life-long process of growing in Christian knowledge and conviction, and in the godly character that flows from it.

This growth happens through feeding on the Scriptures.
Godliness is also about serving others: reaching out to them, following them up, and helping them grow. We gain the motivation and maturity to serve others, and we need training in how to do this.
