What is the Discipleship Map?
The Discipleship Map lists our core discipleship experiences. These are the groups, retreats, and classes that we believe every NCCer should participate in at some point during their time at NCC. It is built around four dimensions of discipleship that we see in Acts 2:41-47: Seeker (the spiritual dimension), Learner (the intellectual dimension), Influencer (the relational dimension), and Investor (the stewardship dimension). We encourage every NCCer to begin with Alpha. Next is the outpost island Journey, an 8-week small group that introduces the four dimensions of discipleship. From there, you are invited to explore the other islands. Each island contains a “port city” as a recommended starting point, but you can visit any spot on the map whenever you want. It is not linear, does not have an endpoint, and is flexible to meet your individual needs.
