Transitioning from an Informal to an Intentional Discipleship Process at Meadow Valley Community Church, Quincy, California

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to transition from an informal process of

discipleship to an intentional process of discipleship among adults at Meadow Valley Community Church in Quincy, California. The overall goal was to establish an intentional discipleship process to guide every believer at Meadow Valley Community Church from unbelief to spiritual maturity in Christ.
