Branching out is designed specifically for the new or beginning Christian to provide a foundation for growth as a disciple of Jesus Christ. The course is recommended for those adults who are beginning their walk with Christ. Throughout this study, participants will be challenged in the areas of: Who Jesus is!, Why the Cross?, What is the church?, How do I know I am a disciple? Following this beginning course, participants will be provided an opportunity to assess their journey toward discipleship and take the next step when they are ready to continue.
