Vertical Church believes true life change happens when you step out of Sunday morning rows and into smaller groups.  Our discipleship classes are a great starting step in this journey. Through eight-week semesters, you will learn, along with a small group of other Vertical attenders, what you need to know to create the deep change following Jesus requires.

Enrollment is now open for our 7th semester of TDP. Classes begin January 14, 2024. Reserve your spot now!

The Bible is the sacred text of Christianity.  Without it, we would lose our history and be uncertain about the future God has for us.  It is beautifully crafted as a unified story that leads to Jesus, our Rescuer.  Knowing the Bible and its place in our lives is the essential and first step in becoming a disciple of Jesus.

The Bible Project

All class times offered will be broken into two four-week sections and will move through the same material.  

  • The first four weeks will be an overview of the Bible resources by the Bible Project’s “How to Read the Bible” which can be found here. The second four weeks will focus on four sections of the Gospels that easily lend themselves to personal study. Click here to download the PDF guide for class.
    These stories are:

  • Week Five
    The Woman Caught in Adultery (grace)

  • Week Six
    The Parable of the Good Samaritan (mercy)

  • Week Seven
    The Parable of The Prodigal Son (provision)

  • Week Eight
    Peter and Jesus on the beach (restoration)

Our story has a big impact on how we view God and the world around us. Without a road map to discover how what’s happened to us has affected us, it is nearly impossible to find authentic connection with God. Knowing ourselves is the second vital component of establishing trust in the one who made us.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality

  • In this revised bestselling book, Peter Scazzero outlines a roadmap for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative. He unveils what's wrong with our current definition of "spiritual growth" and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works, but seven steps to change that will help you experience authentic faith and hunger for God.

We were never meant to do life without a guide. Discovering the ways God desires to use our influence in the world can involve some trial and error.  In this final step, you will continue growing with your smaller group of peers that formed in the previous steps of this course. These group discussions will help you discover how to make what you’ve learned about yourself and God active. 

Small Groups

  • The participants will coordinate with fellow classmates to set up no less than 5 small group meetings for the purposes of:

    • Process their learnings and receive feedback on their discipleship class experience

    • Hear the individuals story

    • Asses their strengths and desires for service in the local and/or global church

    • Introduction to specific ministry area leaders

    • Encourage + Equip new leaders
