REAL Life Discipleship
About Discipleship
Our goal is to help people to be transformed back to what God created them to be so they can enjoy the life and purpose God created them to have.

REAL Life Discipleship is a spiritual growth process designed to help you navigate your journey toward the whole life in Christ God has in store for you. To experience this kind of life Christ offers, believers must grow in various areas of spiritual maturity. To facilitate this growth, REAL Life Discipleship offers introductory studies along with nine Life Paths that you may travel down on your journey. These studies and paths may include discipleship courses, a small group study, one-on-one with a mentor, online resources, and even activity projects to help you in this area of growth.

Change in “I have been a Christian for a while and am involved at Northside, but I need help in a specific area of my life.” We offer nine different Life Paths, or categories for personal growth, from which you may choose. After you have identified your area of interest/need, choose from the list of available discipleship resources that will best help you address that area. If you are not sure which study is best for you, you can contact the Discipleship office for counsel on which strategy may be right for you.

TOPIC-SPECIFIC DISCIPLESHIP COURSES
During the Fall, Spring, and Summer seasons, we offer various in-person training courses that specifically focus on one of the nine Life Paths.

mentoring ministry
A powerful part of Northside’s disciple-making strategy is one-on-one mentoring. Whether it’s to learn more about the basics of the Christian life, how to lead in our homes and workplaces, or how to spiritually care for our families and friends, we never outgrow the need for others to invest in us. Northside offers mature Christians who have “been there” to walk with you along the life path you are traveling. If you are interested in the possibility of being mentored, click
