Our Discipleship Pathway
At First Methodist Church Collierville, our vision is:
“Fostering a Bible-based, Spirit-led community, growing in faith and serving others until Christ returns.”
We are committed to making disciples of Jesus who make disciples—right where they live, work, and play.
We want to help you discover your community, your people, your circle, and your purpose as you grow in Christ.
A disciple is someone who is growing in five key areas:
1. Jesus Follower
Growing in a personal relationship with Jesus through Scripture and prayer.
• Spending daily time with God
• Learning to recognize his voice
• Living in response to his word
2. Compassionate Neighbor
Seeing the needs of others and responding with love.
• Paying attention to people around you
• Joining God in what he is already doing
• Serving where you live, work, and play
3. Intentional Friend
Growing in Christ-centered relationships.
• Being known and knowing others
• Walking with others in faith
• Participating in a small group or community
4. Faithful Mission Partner
Living out the mission of the church.
• Understanding our shared purpose
• Using your gifts to serve
• Committing to the life and mission of the church
5. Bold Storyteller
Sharing the story of Jesus and your life with him.
• Understanding the biblical story
• Knowing your place in that story
• Sharing your faith with others
As you look at these five areas:
• Where are you growing the most?
• Where might God be inviting you to take your next step?
As a church, we are committed to walking with you by:
Creating meaningful worship – Where people encounter God, hear his voice, and respond in faith.
Providing a clear path for growth – So you always know your next step and how to take it.
Building real Christian community – Because life-changing relationships happen best in smaller circles, not just large gatherings.
Partnering in mission – So that together we can share the gospel locally, nationally, and globally.
Your Next Step
No matter where you are in your journey, there is always a next step. We would love to help you take it.
