  • Practice

    In an effort to, “renew our minds,” as disciples of Christ, each session will be framed by teachings from a member of Rockharbor’s pastoral team or a guest speaker and will extensively expand on material ranging from missions and ministry, historical theology, scripture, and more.

  • Learning

    To help us integrate what we learn and discuss with each other into our daily life with God, each session will have a corresponding spiritual practice. These practices will include Sabbath, Prayer of Examen, Praying the Psalms, Lectio Divina, among others.

  • Shared Life

    Discipleship happens in community. To cultivate long-lasting friendships as we learn from and encourage one another, each session will include dinner together and a discussion that facilitates a deeper relational connection.
