Ministries
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. (Ephesians 4:11-14, NIV)
The Church, as the body of Christ, is a community built together in Christ. Every member of the Church is called to grow from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity, becoming spiritual parents who care for other souls and bring joy to God.
God's Nest Church conducts the following discipleship training programs to facilitate the spiritual growth of all its members:
1. Newcomers' Course
This course is for those who wish to become a member of our church. It serves as a foundation for those who are new to the faith and a refresher for those who have been on their faith journey for some time. During this time, you will also receive guidance about God's Nest Church and the life of faith.
> When: Every Sunday after the service, for 6 weeks
2. QT(Daily Devotional) Course
"QT" stands for "Quiet Time." It is the practice of setting aside a specific place and time in our daily lives to reflect upon the Bible and connect with God through prayer. It is a crucial key to spiritual growth, where we listen to God's voice concerning our lives through the Scriptures and respond to that voice in prayer.
QT Course is a program that teaches how to reflect upon the Bible and delve deeper into its teachings, as well as share the grace received through the Word with one another.
> Duration: 6 weeks
> Who: For those who have completed the Newcomers' Course
3. Discipleship Training
A disciple of Jesus can be described as someone who aspires to become like Jesus, dreams of living life as Jesus did, and sets their life's goal to become more like Jesus in character and to pursue a life following His path.
The Discipleship Training at God's Nest Church is designed to train individuals with these life goals until their character transforms like Jesus, their life changes to resemble His, they obediently follow Him, and, ultimately, they dedicate themselves to live as little reflections of Jesus in the altar of their given lives.
> Phase 1: Becoming Like Jesus / 14-week program
> Phase 2: Building Together as a Community / 10-week program
> Phase 3: Living as Little Jesuses / 12-week program
4. Nests (Small Group Gatherings)
At God's Nest Church, small groups are called 'Nests.' Nest Gatherings are the most important and foundational nurturing community within the church. These gatherings revolve around daily Bible reflection, sharing life, praying together, looking out for one another, fostering spiritual growth, serving souls, the church, and fully embracing the mission of evangelism and missions.
