What is Fortify Discipleship at Evolve?
The ongoing mission of building disciples that follow Jesus in every aspect of their life. A disciple is anyone under the teaching of something or someone. Therefore, as disciples of Jesus, we submit our life to the example and word of Christ himself, who emulated the nature of His Father with the endowed help of the Holy Spirit. As Christ followers, we get to share in this everlasting relationship with the Father (John 17:3) and are gifted the same Spirit to navigate life that raised Christ from the dead (Romans 8:11). Discipleship reveals to us the power of both and pushes us to a life devoted to sharing this good news with others.
At Evolve, two major discipleship opportunities are offered to members and non-members alike. Small groups and discipleship classes.
SMALL GROUPS
A small group of people that meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly to explore life through the lenses of faith and Jesus. You and your small group will dive into all kinds of issues that impact everyone, be it good, bad, or indifferent. The only similarity is that each conversation will center the word of God which ultimately, points you back to Christ and the purpose for your experiences. Beyond faith conversations, small groups also find time to fellowship with one another with outings and events as determined by the group. Small groups are either in person, at Evolve Church or an agreed upon location near you, or virtual. This can be identified in the description of the small group.

DISCIPLESHIP CLASSES
6 week study intensives that sharpen the sword and equip the believer for spiritual battle in their life (Ephesians 6:12-13). The first five weeks are dedicated to course study (in-person or virtual) while the sixth week culminates the course with a learning assessment and completion ceremony. In 2024, three classes are offered which build upon the former.
- For New Believers, Faith Foundations
- For Developing Believers, Sword of the Spirit
- For Mature Believers, Life as a Disciple
