AT CANVAS WE BELIVE DISCIPLESHIP HAPPENS BEST IN THE CONTEXT OF RELATIONSHIPS:
Our relationship with Jesus and our relationships with one another.
Discipleship groups are some of the best places for meaningful relationships to develop and for sustained spiritual life-change to occur.
Canvas Discipleship Groups are about doing life together and walking in the direction of Jesus.

looks like to: Be with Jesus, Become like Jesus, and Do as Jesus did.
