Structured discipleship
Grow to maturity in Christ
Spiritual growth is not automatic and not mysterious: it comes through the Word, prayer, and the fellowship of Christ's church. These paths give you an ordered way to walk that road — one step at a time.
Begin the new believer's path“Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation” — 1 Peter 2:2

How a learning path works
We write the map; trusted teachers provide the teaching. Every step follows the same simple pattern — and always sends you to the source.
Step 1
Orientation
A short introduction from us: why this step matters and what to look for.
Step 2
Teaching at the source
A sermon or article at gty.org — you study it there, in full, with attribution.
Step 3
Application
Reflection questions and one concrete practice to obey what you’ve learned.
All of this rests on one foundation
Growth begins at the cross. If you are not yet sure you belong to Christ, start there — everything on this page flows from that gift.
