Heart of the Disciple:
A journey of discipleship through God’s Word, shaping hearts to fulfill His Kingdom’s purpose.
Welcome to Heart of the Disciple Bible Study
As parents, you want your children to grow in their
understanding of who Jesus is and what it truly means to follow Him.
Our "Heart of the Disciple Bible study" is designed to help children
grasp the deep, transformative truths of discipleship while navigating the
challenges of living as followers of Christ in a fallen world.
This study is not just a one-time class—it is an ongoing journey of discipleship,
where each lesson builds on the last, shaping your child’s heart and character over time.
We believe that discipleship is a lifelong process, and our goal is to help shape young disciples
who are committed to living for Christ and growing in their faith every day.
Through this ongoing study, your child will continue to be equipped and encouraged
in their walk with Jesus, learning to reflect His heart and character in all they do.
In this study, we won’t water down the reality of what it means to follow Christ.
Discipleship requires commitment, sacrifice, and sometimes standing apart from the world around us.
While we aim to present these concepts in a way that’s accessible and engaging for kids, we won’t shy away from the truth. Your child will learn that being a disciple of Jesus isn’t just about obeying rules or following traditions—it’s about being transformed from the inside out by a relationship with Him.
It’s about a heart that is shaped by Christ’s love, a life that reflects His values, and a commitment to living His way, no matter the challenges.
Shining as Light in a Fallen World:
Being a disciple of Christ means living differently—being a light in the darkness.
Your child will learn how to be a positive influence,
showing God’s love and truth to others, even in the face of challenges.
Each lesson is designed to engage children in thoughtful discussions, meaningful
Scripture readings, hands-on activities, and crafts that reinforce the values of discipleship.
Through these activities, we hope to make the lessons practical and memorable,
helping your child apply what they’ve learned in their everyday life.
We are committed to creating an environment where your child can grow in their faith,
develop a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Jesus,
and be equipped to live as His disciple in the world.
We invite you to join us in encouraging your child to embrace the depth of what it means to be shaped by Christ, knowing that discipleship is a lifelong journey of growth, love, and service.

Introduction to the Series: Living as Children of Christ
Welcome to our Bible study series, Living as Children of Christ!
Over the next month, we’ll explore what it means to be true followers of Jesus,
even in a world that sometimes ignores or rejects Him.
Jesus calls each of us to follow Him with our whole hearts, and this isn’t always easy.
Following Jesus means making choices that honor Him, standing out from the crowd, and even facing challenges. But Jesus promises that He’ll be with us every step of the way.
Together, we’ll dive into Scripture to understand real discipleship—
not just knowing about Jesus but living like Him.
We’ll see what it’s like to live as God’s children in a world that doesn’t always look like the Kingdom of God.
Through Bible stories, hands-on activities, and crafts, we’ll learn about leaving behind things that
hold us back, trusting Jesus in hard times, and helping others see God’s love.
This journey won’t shy away from the hard truths, but it will encourage us to live boldly
and authentically as disciples of Christ.
Get ready to discover what it means to be called by Jesus, how to stay close to Him,
and how to shine His light in a fallen world.
