ID is about getting intentional in your walk with Christ. No matter where you are in your spiritual walk ID helps you create and cultivate a relationship with Jesus Christ. It will give you a strong Christian foundation that will help you live an obedient life and give you the confidence to go out and influence others.

We’re encouraging all Hope attendees to spend 25 weeks during 2011 going through the book Discipleship Essentials with two to four other Hope attendees. We guarantee that your life will be changed and you will have a more intimate relationship with Christ and those that you go through ID with.
 

ID builds a solid Christian foundation through:

• Building good routines (prayer, worship, Bible study, etc.).
• Understanding major doctrines (Trinity, gospel, sin, Holy Spirit, etc.).
• Developing character like Christ.
• Serving Christ in and through the church.

• How do I get started with ID?

  
  1. Purchase the book Discipleship Essentials by Greg Oden from LifeLines bookstore.
  
  2. Find two to four friends to go through the book with.
  
  3. Meet 1x/week for 25 weeks during 2012 to discuss the 25 studies in Discipleship Essentials. View our suggested syllabus detailing weekly topics, four complimentary workshops and a graduation celebration.
   

• I'm already involved in a LifeGroup. Now you want me to go through ID too?

  
  We're encouraging all LifeGroups to go through ID together in 2012. If you're involved in a home group, your leader may have already spoken with you about doing ID together in 2012. If you're involved in VineLife, Seeds, Men's Fraternity or FUEL we're encouraging you to go through ID with people in your small groups.
