The 2:7 Series is discipleship
training. People in training groups
learn and practice skills while they
experience spiritual growth. People
will learn and practice skills such as
quiet time options, ways to meditate
on Scripture, how to sharpen and tell
their salvation story, and other
skill-based topics.
What is the significance of the name The 2:7 Series? The name is based on the
Scripture reference Colossians 2:7—the statement of the Apostle Paul to a New
Testament church: “Rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you
were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” What the Holy Spirit
expresses through Paul in this passage clearly defines the specific goals of this
training:

1.For a Christian to become built up in Christ and strengthened (or established)
in his or her faith. This series of courses includes instruction in practical Bible
study techniques, Scripture memory skills, how to have an exciting devotional
life, and how to be more effective in evangelism.

2.For a Christian to learn to overflow with gratitude in everyday life. The series
will help an individual learn to experience and enjoy a stable and consistent
Christian walk.

3.For a Christian to be taught (or instructed). This implies that training needs to
take place before believers develop into a follower of Christ whose life can
significantly impact in the lives of people around them.

The three books are designed to be completed in sequence. Book 2 builds on
the work done in book 1, and book 3 builds on what your group has
accomplished in the first two books. You will enjoy each book’s biblical and
practical approach to discipleship. As many others have, those of you who
participate in a 2:7 group can expect to experience positive life changes as you
study and apply this time-proven material.

Currently our Discipleship Training program involves a three-book
series entitled, "2:7 Series." At the present time, we have
participants progressively working through books one and two.
Following the completion of these two series in March,
registration will begin again for book one, "Growing Strong in
God's Family." Anyone one interested should contact our
