Head

The first aspect of the discipleship pathway is to acknowledge the actual heart work that goes into learning about Jesus. The Head stage is all about getting the knowledge of God into you. We will do this through contextualized guides and other resources that have been curated by the pastors, staff, and elders of gracespring to help you find avenues of growth. We believe that none of these resources can save you or make God love you more or less. What they can do is to help you land in the places that God is already moving.

Starting the Journey

We encourage you to start with the DNA of gracespring by journeying through our guides on Belonging, Growing, and Reaching. These guides will help you understand gracespring’s strategy for discipleship. We seek to be a church that helps others to Belong in Real Relationships, Grow to be like Jesus, and Reach others where we Live, Work, and Play
