Welcome to your journey
In a nutshell, Discipleship Walk is a 3-day weekend experience designed to draw individuals into a deeper more intimate relationship with the Lord. The Discipleship Walk strives to provide a setting where individuals can literally unplug from their daily lives, remove the distractions of home and work in order to focus on their relationship with the Lord. The environment created on each weekend allows participants to experience God’s love in tangible ways. During the three days, individuals deepen their discipleship skills and are better equipped to live as modern day disciples of Jesus. Participants then go back to where they came from with the desire, knowledge and tools necessary to make a difference in their world.
Since its inception in 1989, thousands of people have attended Discipleship Walks in the nine different Discipleship Walk Communities around the United States. It is heavily patterned after the Walk to Emmaus, the Cursillo Movement, the Great Banquet, and other similar weekends across denominational lines
