In September 2008, we launched a discipleship strategy which we believe will intentionally lead individuals through a process of becoming committed followers of Christ.  

Some of the components of the FBCC Discipleship Strategy are as follows:

1. 30 Core Competencies

• 10 competencies focus on belief (i.e., Trinity, Salvation by Grace, Personal God, etc.)
• 10 competencies focus on virtue (i.e., Love, Joy, Patience, Self-control, etc.)
• 10 competencies focus on practice (i.e., Prayer, Spiritual Gifts, Worship, etc.)

2. Alignment.

• Most sermons are linked to one of the 30 core competencies
• Weekly devotionals for the week's comptency are avialable at our resource center.
• Neighborhood small groups discuss the competency of the week

3. Resource Center

• The resource center has books, cd's etc. for each of the 30 core competencies
• The resource center also has books and supplies for any special discipleship classess.
• The resource center provides access to Bible study material and other items

4. Personal Assessment

• A personal assessment tool for the 30 core competencies is available at the resource center.
• A spiritual gifts/personality assessment tool is also available.
• Participants in Connection Class take a personal assseement to help them know where to focus

6. Small Groups (on and off campus)

• Small group classes meet on campus and are topic oriented
• Neighborhood Small Group are aligned with sermon

7. Specialty Groups

• These groups meet on campus on Wednesday and consist of topical Bible studies for men, women and youth
• We also have a series of recovery-based classes on Sunday nights at the ROC
