Pooler Bible Church

Discipleship Training Program

Pooler Bible Church is excited that you have made the first step in making a lasting impact in the
lives of our church family and the greater Pooler community. We understand that this discipleship
program will be a sacrifice of your time and are grateful for your commitment.
Biblical Truths of Discipleship:
We strive to follow Jesus command to make disciples (Matt. 28: 19-20).
We believe that Christians are called to teach others and share with them the truths of
scripture (2nd Timothy 2:2).
We believe in the inerrancy of scripture as God-breathed, true, and beneficial for the
edification of the Church. (2nd Timothy 3:16).
We believe discipleship is a necessary process of the Christian walk as we move to
spiritual maturity and thus the teaching of sound scriptural doctrine should be explicitly
taught and studied (Ephesians 4: 14-16).
