Discipleship Institute

Here's what previous participants would like you to know...

• "...The Discipleship Institute was a rewarding and eye-opening experience.  It encouraged us to take an honest look at our faith, our spiritual life, and our involvement in the church.  By participating, I have a better understanding of how I can contribute to making JPII one of the most welcoming church communities in southern Indiana."  (Ken Conklin)

• "Discipleship Institute shares the powerful roadmap for the future of JPII.  It’s given me a clear purpose and direction for our parish.  I am excited to have more parishioners go through the institute so more can share the mission/vision… the mission to be the parish God is calling us to be so that we can build God’s Kingdom."  (Janelle Lewis)

• "Attending the Disciple Institute gave me an opportunity to get a firsthand look at what St. John Paul II Parish is actively doing to live out its mission.  I had the opportunity to ask questions and share my thoughts while being able to hear the thoughts of other parishioners on the direction our church is going.  St. John Paull II is still a work in progress, but there is a good plan in place to get us to where we want to be!"  (Lora Aria)

• "Participating in the institute made clear to me that I had fellow parishioners hungry for our faith to come alive in all facets of our Church.  DI made it clear to me that faith from the heart is to be shared with others in all activities of our Church particularly our mission to share with others.  As a missionary, my personal faith should come alive in all I do and in all that our Church does.  As a group, we are hungry to see the fire of faith come alive in worship and evangelization in our community."  (Paul Rhodes)

• "Discipleship Institute is a first step in capturing the essence of what our parish is about… moving from maintenance to mission and living our mission statement of growing and making disciples. I am excited to be a part of this exciting time…. Come join in and be a part of the next cohort!"  (Chris Miller)

The Discipleship Institute is a program designed for parishioners to learn more about our mission and vision and how we can grow ourselves and others in our discipleship walk.  The Institute is offered throughout the year, using a Cohort model.  Learning and sharing in the framework of a small group brings to life our Parish Mission and Vision, Divine Renovation, JPII Game Plan, our Structure and Ministries, and Leadership.  The videos below are used in the sessions of the Discipleship Institute.
