Our Discovery Process
Discovery I: An Orientation
to Cedarbrook – a place for you to connect.
Offered six times a year, Discovery I lives up to its
name as a way for you to encounter our history, mission,
ministries, and beliefs. We meet for seventy-five minutes
during the Sunday morning service. During this session, you
will have the opportunity to meet and get acquainted with
our some of our pastoral staff, have some hot coffee (and a
donut if you would like), and learn more about our history,
mission, ministries, and beliefs. It is also a great
opportunity to connect with a small group of folks to begin
to build the kind of relationships that will truly make
Cedarbrook feel like home. Your questions and comments are
welcome! For the dates of upcoming Discovery I
classes,

our calendar.
Discovery II: Membership at
Cedarbrook – a place for you to grow.
Offered three times a year, Discovery II is a
friendly and informative four-week small group get together
where you will have the opportunity to meet some new
friends, and to continue building relationships with those
you have already met. In addition to encouraging these new
relationships, we will be seeking to help you answer three
important questions.
-
“Who are we as a church?” We will
explore what the Bible says about the church, and look
closely at the “product” every church is called to
produce: disciples of Jesus Christ. In answering this
question, we will build on the information we introduced
during Discovery I, and take a deeper look at the “Three
B’s” of our Purpose Statement: bringing, becoming, and
bridging.
-
“As a disciple of Jesus, what am I
supposed to be doing?” Whether you have been a
Christ-follower for thirty minutes or thirty years, have
an extensive church background or none at all, have a
great deal of spiritual training or very little, Christ
wants you to be an active part of His body. We will look
at a Biblical snapshot of the life and mission of a
disciple … and we will help you see how you can live out
that life and mission here at Cedarbrook.
-
“What is my next step?” Considering
your current progress on your spiritual journey and the
opportunities available, what next step can you take to
grow spiritually… to seek involvement in Cedarbrook… to
serve out in the community?

classes,

Discovery III: Ministry
inside and outside of Cedarbrook – a place for you to serve.
Offered three times a year, Discovery III is a four session
spiritual gifts workshop where you will discover how God has
designed and gifted you for life-long service. Through
Scripture, personal assessments, and discussion you will
uncover your personal SHAPE:
Spiritual gifts (what you are gifted to do)
Heart (what you love to do)
Abilities (what you are good
at)
Personality (what you are
like)
Experience (who you have
become)
The purpose of Discovery III is not to ‘fill ministry
slots’ within the church! It is to equip people to live out
– in all areas of their lives – who God has made them to be.
