Strengths for Discipleship: Exploring and Developing Our Strengths for Christ

Strengths for Discipleship: Exploring and Developing Our Strengths for Christ is an exciting process of discovery developed by Gallup, Inc. and customized by and for Friedens United Church of Christ.  Working through the dynamic of small group meetings, this program is designed to enable Friedens members to identify their personal strengths and to understand how those strengths can lead to a deeper appreciation of how to put faith into action in one’s daily life.  

Strengths for Discipleship is offered several times a year. Each offering is a four-session series.  Sessions follow a similar pattern that includes prayer, scripture, sharing with others who are also on the journey of strengths development, and questions to guide your reflection and sharing.  Each session ends with a closing prayer and questions to guide reflection between the group sessions. 

For those who have completed the Strengths for Discipleship series, Friedens offers two additional opportunities for Christians to reconnect you with their strengths and friends with whom we began this journey.
