Inspire School of Discipleship

This 6-week course delves into the essential characteristic, or ethos, of a Fellowship Band and House Fellowship, spiritual conversation. Left to ourselves, we easily become distracted from our call to follow Jesus, or tempted to settle for lesser things, or quit the journey altogether. As we learn to bear one another’s burdens, however, we draw close to Jesus and the power of his Spirit in our midst. This course unpacks the two key ingredients needed for having authentic spiritual conversation in a Fellowship Band & House Fellowship: mutual accountability and spiritual guidance. And it helps to equip disciples with skills for spiritual conversations in their every day lives on mission with Jesus. 

Please note: We recommend that you take the Intro to Band and/or the Intro to Missional Discipleship BEFORE you take this course, as they provide a helpful foundation for you to get maximum benefit from this course.

This 5-week course is an introduction to Inspire House Fellowships. It uses the practices of house fellowship as a means to explore the principles of envisioning, starting, developing and multiplying missional communities (house fellowships). Using the book House Fellowship: A Quick Guide, this course also provides practical wisdom and experience for discipleship as part of the ecology of fellowships: Fellowship Band, House Fellowship and Learning Community.

• Provide a big picture overview of Missional Discipleship and the purpose of Fellowship Bands and House Fellowships.

This course delves into the Biblical principles for Missional Community. Missional Communities encourage one another to live as everyday missionaries: who befriend their neighbours and invite them home to share life among the community, so they can grow in discipleship together. 

Below is the course outline:

• Session 1: Introduction
• Session 2: The Mission of God
• Session 3: Our Great Commission
• Session 4: Everyday Missionaries
• Session 5: Home as Mission Base
• Session 6: Rhythms of Missional Community
• Session 7: Sending Out: What next? Q&A

These training materials will help Missioners to facilitate online learning communities and lead in person training retreats. The principles for both online and in person training are the same but the practices will need to be adapted for the particular contexts.
