DISCIPLESHIP INITIATIVES OF SOUTHRIDGE
'What do you want to do when you grow up?' is a question we either have been asked, or are currently being asked, on a regular basis. Perhaps a better question to consider is, 'Who are you becoming?' Christianity is not just a story, or a set of ideas - Christianity is an invitation to follow, learn from, listen to, and become like Jesus. That is ultimately what 'discipleship' is all about; becoming an apprentice of Jesus, to learn to live how He would if He was in your particular situation. In this class we will explore the rhythms and disciplines of our discipleship to Jesus, and encourage people to take the next step in their obedience to do what He has taught.
This class is a requirement for anyone wanting to be baptized at SouthRidge

Christian Thought, and a Conversation on Reconstructing Your Faith

Christian Thought, Freedom, and the Conscience
The words conscience and freedom are used so frequently in our everyday lives, and they are words that the Bible uses. We should ask ourselves: Am I using these words the way the Bible is using them? If we want to live wisely as Christians in Canada in 2024, these are concepts we need to wrestle with - so you are invited to join Elizabeth Faulkner, Jesse Schellenberg, and Greg Harris in a conversation about thinking Christianly about freedom and conscience.
Christian Thought and Integrating the Church Family
Do you feel like the local church is your family? Do you feel like you belong relationally with the people of your church?
For many years the biological/nuclear family has taken centre stage for people's sense of belonging. Which is why these words that Jesus tells his disciples feel so out of place to us:
"Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields - along with persecutions - and in the age to come eternal life." ~ Mark 10:29-30 (NIV)
Christian Thought and Integrating the Church Family is an event designed to help us think through the countercultural message of the Bible that the local church should operate as a family. Whether we are married or single we are called to come together and form a family.
