ADULT Discipleship

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.
