How it works

4. Multiply

Inspire others in the practices you’ve been learning.

Testimonies

Abide gave me the tools I had been looking for to grow deeper in my relationship with God and learn how to listen for that small, still voice. TheWay has impacted my life in a beautiful way and I hope to share that with others.

Diane Z

TheWay has been a turning point in my spiritual journey. TheWay devotionals provide a deeper level of understanding that is relevant to me. God speaks directly to me with love rather than judgement.

Frank P.

I’ve been a Christian for 40 years and I have never experienced hearing God’s voice until I started in Abide.

Anonymous

I facilitate a woman’s Abide group at my church and I can actually feel the difference the connection between the women has made in the culture of the church.

Brun S.

The Way series is foundational teaching to abide in Christ. In my experience, the daily devotionals and mentorship has been one of the best spiritually growing exercises.

Rick F.

One of the best decisions made for growing in my faith and creating a stronger foundation of belief was starting and continuing with TheWay.

Adam N.

As a Women’s ministry leader, I found myself searching for something to re-energize my Christian walk. I needed a spiritual Emergency Room. I stumbled on Church Renewal on the internet and am so thankful God led me to the Abide mentoring group and a Set Free retreat. I encourage anyone seeking resources, encouragement, prayer, or spiritual renewal to learn more about Church Renewal!

General Information for TheWay Discipleship Groups

A pathway of purpose for men and women interested in growing in their walk with Jesus Christ.

The STARTING POINT: Abide in Christ
Wondering if this is for you? You can "Test Drive" Abide for 5 weeks.

Abide in Christ is a pathway of purpose for those who are either exploring it for the first time, or for experienced travellers. If you feel like you've lost your way, or what you are anchored to is not quite as steady as you hoped it would be, this is for you. Join a group to experience the abundant and overflowing life that Jesus promises us.

Register here and we will contact you with information on the next group's starting date.

IF you have completed the Abide and Grow Character modules, you can sign up for any module that is listed on this webpage.
