Boot Camp Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program Boot Camp Website | Session Overview | Boot Camp Manual What is the Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program?The Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program is a two-part life changing program to promote spiritual growth that moves us from membership to fellowship to discipleship. It consists of: (1) the Eight-Step Program that guides each member to become an effective Christian disciple and steward; and (2) Boot Camp, a Bible Study series presented by the ministerial staff on-line and in the classroom. What is Boot Camp?The Eight Steps incorporate completion of the discipleship training program developed by Pastor Washington. It is a series of 10 sessions contained in the Boot Camp Manual. The 10 sessions are divided into easy-to-read lessons that are presented in 2-4 week modules on-line (Monday through Friday) and in the classroom (Saturday and Sunday). The ministerial staff teaches the Boot Camp program February through October of each year. Boot Camp participants receive a certificate of completion of the program based on weekly participation. Why should I be interested in a discipleship development program?Discipleship training is for all of God's people. This program is designed to meet you where you are in your spiritual walk and move you to a new level in spiritual maturity. Pastor Washington believes and teaches that we should desire and strive for excellence in ministry -- rooted in a disciplined relationship with God, grounded with integrity and guided with intentional actions. The more we grow and engage in effective ministry together the more we are able to accomplish the impossible, and the world will know that we are Christ?s disciples because of the love we show for others. How does the Reid Temple Discipleship Development Program work?Under the umbrella of the Discipleship Development Program, members are guided through self-assessment of spiritual growth.
