Walking together. Following Christ.
Transforming lives by embedding discipleship as a lifelong value
experienced in meaningful relationships.
At Gordon-Conwell, the Discipleship Experience provides one of the richest ways to integrate your theological education with your own journey with Christ. We desire to foster healthy vulnerability, where faculty and students feel mutually known as they share a common pursuit for a transformed life with Christ.
“The Discipleship Experience provided me a place to be known, and a framework for discipleship.” – Michael
“To me, discipleship has meant receiving the gift of the spiritual friendship of a wise, fun, Christ-loving woman of God and seasoned saint. Discipleship has meant allowing God to shape me and to see that it is God who molds us as we journey together.” – Shannon
“As a result of Dr. Kim’s commitment to journeying with me, I have come to think that perhaps a more fundamental part of discipleship is walking alongside someone in the love of Christ regardless of their successes or failures. My own view of discipleship, then, has evolved.” – Myron
The Discipleship Experience Scholarship is a two-year fellows program where students experience discipleship both as someone who is discipled and as someone who disciples. In your first year, you will be paired with a discipler and placed in a small discipleship cohort of 2-3 students. In your second year, you will seek out discipling relationships outside the seminary within your personal community network, while being resourced and equipped as someone who facilitates a discipling relationship.
This scholarship is open to all incoming, returning, full-time, and part-time students. All degree programs are eligible to apply, except the D.Min. program. Since spots are limited, preference and priority will be given to students who can commit to participating in the program in-person for two full years. The application process involves filling out an initial online form, which indicates a student’s top three choices from a list of available disciplers. You may make prior connections with potential disciplers before applying. Click here to Meet the Disciplers.
