“My time in the discipleship program at Ride was crucial for my faith. It helped me build a strong relationship with the Lord. it Taught me how to evangelize, how to properly practice spiritual disciplines, and so much more. It has surrounded me with an incredible community. I’ve never really had a solid group of friends before, and that’s something I had always longed for.”

RAISING UP F.A.t. LEADERS

F.AITHFUL
A.VAILABLE
T.EACHABLE

These traits are the foundation of a growing disciple and ultimately someone who is HUNGRY to grow in their walk with Jesus and are committed to the process. It exemplifies someone who is available to serve and be invested in, with a teachable and humble heart willing to learn, be corrected, and grow.

We have seen that 9 times out of 10, the students who embody these qualities are the ones who will be the most transformed and ultimately equipped to lead and disciple others long term.

a hands-on DISCIPLESHIP model

through observation > participation > and FINALLY HANDS-ON leadership, we are able to watch students grow in both character and competency as they are equipped to lead and disciple others.

Each stage in this process builds confidence and ownership as students move from a guided experience to independent multiplication.
