Discipleship Ministries

Share Your Faith!

If you are passionate about your faith, consider sharing it with others! This is a chance for you to build relationships, foster spiritual growth, and leave a lasting legacy of faith. Walk alongside those who are encountering Christ in a deeply personal way, and guide them toward a fuller understanding and reception of the foundational sacraments.

Who are we looking for?

You don’t need to be a theologian to help in our discipleship ministries, but you should posses:

• A love for Jesus Christ and His Church.
• A desire to share your faith with others.
• Patience, understanding, and a joyful spirit.
• A commitment to ongoing faith formation (we will provide support!)
• A willingness to serve typically one night a week during our programs.
