ABOUT IMPACT

MATTHEW 28:18-20 

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” 

Jesus’ commissioning means that one of the privileges and responsibilities of the local church is to make disciples – not only believers.  Discipleship is the call of Jesus to every one of us to follow Him and become more like Him.

Are you wanting to grow in your relationship with God?

Do you desire to make deep friendships?

Do you want a safe place to learn to hear God’s voice more clearly?

At House of the Lord, IMPACT is our adult (18+) discipleship program designed with those three things in mind. The content and structure combined with a group of people wholeheartedly seeking God create unimaginable growth. 

IMPACT STUDENTS

Christians are all called to be planted in a local church, serve, and grow. At House of the Lord there are many ways to do that. The following questions will help you determine if IMPACT could be your next step.

  • IMPACT students have determined that House of the Lord is their home and as such they have established habits that demonstrate they are fully committed to being a contributing member of the church family.

    IMPACT students have:

    Been consistently attending for six months or longer.

    Been tithing regularly. This is a heart-issue, not a money issue.

  • Every student is supported, helped and loved in every way possible throughout this process. Having a humble willingness to allow others to speak into your life creates opportunity for God to use the people surrounding you. Students and leaders walk in close relationships and together they encourage, strengthen and challenge each other to be more like Jesus.

  • IMPACT is about personal growth in your daily life, trying things you’ve never tried before and inviting accountability as you establish new habits. Accommodations are available to fit each student’s learning style. If you are willing to do the work, we are able to help you find a way. This looks like:

    Reading the Bible every day following the church-wide Bible reading plan.

    Memorizing scripture both as a class and on your own.

    Studying topics the Bible teaches on. Students read additional books, complete reflection homework and journal.

    Sharing what God is doing in your life, in front of the class and in small groups

  • When we say yes to what God asks us to do, He is faithful to meet all our needs.

    IMPACT students attend:

    Weekly class Thursday evenings from 6:15-9:00 PM.

    Sunday morning huddle prior to the start of first service.

    Two services each weekend, one to attend and one to serve.

    All church events, conferences and serve days.

    We believe everyone has a next step and when we ask God, He is faithful to lead us. If you answered yes to the above questions, this might be your year to join IMPACT. Applications close December 19th.

WILL THERE BE AN INTERVIEW BEFORE MY OFFICIAL ACCEPTANCE?

Yes, interviews will begin in November.
