Come Inside – Your Stepwise Journey

This Introduction is one of two pathways into Stepwise

It offers a shorter route to introduce people to the URC’s discipleship development programme which helps discover where God might be leading them and how they can make a difference in their church and the wider world. It uses a similar format to the other Stepwise streams and you work your way through the session, getting more information about the streams and experiencing how to use the URC Learning Hub. 

Stepwise is a flipped and blended learning programme that relies on preparation, facilitation, personal reflection and response, as well as group discussion. As followers of Jesus, we are on a lifelong journey of learning and growing as disciples. Stepwise was developed to nourish, challenge, and encourage us as we walk and grow in faith. 

This Introduction will help you understand more about Stepwise and give you a taste of how it works. If you are keen to grow in your Christian faith, ready to be challenged and inspired, and want to make a difference in your life and the lives of others, then Stepwise is for you. 

Discipleship development is nurturing faith and personal growth, encouraging individuals to deepen their understanding of God and their faith journey. Developing discipleship through Stepwise emphasizes lifelong learning and equipping people to live out their faith in their daily lives. Through engaging in the Stepwise streams you will find opportunities to think, pray, reflect, discuss, write and draw. All these things will help you to learn more about yourself, about your relationship with God, and inspire and enable you as you follow Jesus. Disciples are learners, and doing this learning alongside others, in community, brings a richness and a wider perspective. 

This is the beginning of your Stepwise journey!
