Discipleship Stages

Here at Compel City, we believe that we are all called to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Our vision and mission is clear! We not only want to be disciples, we want to make disciples.

  • People at this stage are like newborn babies craving spiritual milk so they can grow in their salvation. People at this stage are spiritually alive. They have made a decision to follow Jesus, but that’s about as far as they’ve gotten.

    • Limited availability to serve

    • Want to learn more about what it means to be a disciple
