The Heritage Way

Building a Heritage of Faith, One Disciple at a Time.

A four-year discipleship pathway designed to form mature followers of Jesus Christ through gospel clarity, covenant community, and faithful, missional living—as a shared way of life within the life of the local church.

What Shapes the Heritage Way

The Heritage Way is a covenantal, church-centered discipleship journey lived within the worshiping life of the church and experienced in small groups, shaped by Scripture, prayer, theological reading, and life-on-life relationships.

 

Rooted in historic Protestant and Reformed theology, The Heritage Way helps believers:

  • Grow in their identity and assurance in Christ

  • Live faithfully within the covenant community of the church

  • Practice discipleship in the home, vocation, and everyday relationships

  • Bear credible witness to the gospel in the world

  • Develop into humble, servant-hearted leaders over time

 

Discipleship here is not defined primarily by information transfer or program participation, but by long-term formation, gospel-shaped conviction, embodied obedience, and growing responsibility under Christ’s authority.

How Discipleship Grows

At the heart of The Heritage Way is a simple conviction:

As spiritual depth increases, faithful responsibility widens.

Discipleship unfolds through ordered spheres of faithfulness as believers grow in understanding, conviction, and obedience:​

 

  • From union with Christ

  • To faithfulness in the home

  • To integrity in vocation and daily life

  • To loving witness among neighbors

  • To service and leadership in the church

  • And finally, to mission and multiplication in the world

Growth is never rushed. Leadership is never assumed. Faithfulness comes before fruitfulness.

The Heritage Way: Whole-Life Discipleship

Unlike groups that simply read and discuss books, The Heritage Way intentionally forms disciples in what they believe, what they love, and how they live, integrating:

  • Rich theological reading

  • Scripture-centered discussion

  • Heart-level reflection

  • Practical, lived obedience

Each session connects truth to real life—shaping how participants follow Christ personally, lead their families, serve in their work, love their neighbors, and participate faithfully in the mission of the church.

This is discipleship shaped for endurance.
