MEMBERSHIP DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAMME
Genesis CLF runs a seven-stage discipleship initiative called Membership Discipleship Programme. It serves as a framework for the spiritual growth of its members. We run these courses periodically throughout the year and we would love you to join us.
Stage 1 – New Believers Course
This course is for the new believer who desires to commit their life to Jesus Christ and grow in faith. It is designed to build their foundation in their christian faith.
The topics include:
-
Why we believe the Bible
-
The Kingdom of God
-
What it means to be born again
-
What is the gospel message
-
Sharing your faith with others

Stage 2 – Membership Orientation Course
This course is for those who are considering Genesis CLF membership or have recently committed to being a member.
The topics include:
-
What are the beliefs of Christian Life Fellowship Church?
-
What is the vision and purpose of Christian Life Fellowship Church
-
What does membership of Christian Life Fellowship Church entails
and much more
The Membership Orientation Course is for Christians who would like to know more about our church and prayerfully consider if they should take up membership. It is an opportunity to learn first-hand what we believe, our vision and purpose.
At the end of this course participants are invited to sign up for membership of our church. If they are not ready to make that commitment, they are welcome to decline. At this stage if they decline to commit, they will no longer need to attend the remaining courses because those courses are designed for members who express a desire to be actively involved in the life of the church.

Feeding on God's word

Giving
