NOW FORMING · FREE DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING · SAN DIEGO

Ready to be a disciple who
makes disciples?

It’s time to move beyond the Sunday service. I am currently forming a men’s discipleship training small group starting in September 2026. You will develop a deep, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and be equipped to share the Gospel and make disciples.

We’ll be using the Ordinary Men Discipleship Workbook developed by Ordinary Movement . Please take a moment to watch their intro video and prayerfully consider joining us.

We will meet for one hour every other week for about a year (27 sessions). Meetings will be held in person in Scripps Ranch, San Diego, with homework assigned between sessions. Spots are limited to around eight guys. Cost is $20 for the Workbook.
