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.

Spanish Ladies: Consagrada
Hermanas, hijas, amigas. Profetas, misioneras, madres. Desde Eva en Génesis 3 hasta Eunice en 2 Timoteo 1, la Biblia menciona a innumerables mujeres que dan testimonio de la fidelidad y el amor de Dios. Aunque cada mujer es única, todas tienen algo en común: una vida entrelazada con la historia de redención de Dios.
Dedica 6 sesiones al estudio de más de 30 mujeres de las Escrituras cuyas vidas han inspirado a generaciones de mujeres en su fe y devoción a Dios. Sus historias son un recordatorio de que usted también está hecha a la imagen de Dios, y que tiene un papel importante que desempeñar en la historia de Dios.
