Discipleship in GBC KIDS on Mondays
Rather than just teaching kids what a disciple looks like, we want to equip them to live out four areas of discipleship. Mondays in GBC KIDS are designed to walk your kids through each of these four areas:
GROW
Grow in knowledge of and relationship with God
Your child will learn how to make their relationship with Christ a priority which then supplies everything they need for ministry to others.
Practicing daily spiritual disciplines at home will sustain your child's faith during difficult times as they move into middle school.

BELONG
Belong to a community of believers
We are called to do discipleship alongside other believers. Small discipleship groups bring your kids into a mentor relationship with another teen/adult who (along with their parents) walks with them and encourages them on their discipleship journey.
ENGAGE
Engage spiritual gifts to equip the church body
Kids don't have a junior Holy Spirit. As a part of the church body, your kids are encouraged and trained to use their spiritual gifts for the works of ministry.
ENGAGE
Engage the spiritual gifts to bring the gospel beyond church & home
Every believer is called to make disciples. Kids have a unique ability to reach others with the gospel. "Peer evangelism among young children--one kid leading another kid to the foot of the Cross for a life-changing encounter with Jesus--is one of the most prolific and effective means of evangelism in the nation." (George Barna)

Leaders in Training
Preteens are at a heightened level of spiritual awareness, and are ready to do big things for a big God. LIT's move from disciples to disciple-makers.
We don't want to sit them in a classroom and only give them knowledge about the Bible. We want the Word of God to come alive in their lives through discipleship and active ministry involvement.
