What are the dates of the sessions? Sessions will be held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month at 10:45am-1:45pm EST, beginning July 7, 2024.
Will there be a virtual option? No. All sessions are in-person and will be held in Eustis, FL.
What is the cost for the Discipleship Foundations Track? The cost is an investment of your time and commitment. There is no financial charge to participate. However, offerings are always appreciated from those who desire to be generous.
Who are the trainers? All of the E3 AEC sessions are facilitated either by E3 Ministries' senior leadership, those who have been directly equipped through the ministry of E3 Ministries, or the vetted senior leaders of official partner ministries.
If I am not a member of the E3 Ministries community, why must I submit a referral from my pastor? E3 Ministries values commitment to God AND the body of Christ. It is our conviction that all believers should be connected with a local fellowship of believers so that local fellowship is healthy, growing, and full of love. The goal is Kingdom growth and maturity in the context of authentic relationships and biblical accountability. We are intentional about creating a culture that promotes being planted in a local fellowship for the purpose of spiritual growth and service.
We also are careful to show honor to those in leadership at other churches. We guard against facilitating any confusion and dishonor that could result from a member of a local church seeking spiritual guidance apart from their own God-appointed spiritual leaders. Pastors remain responsible for the spiritual oversight of their members' souls, so we will not take that responsibility or authority from them.
If you are currently not connected to a local body of believers and want to be discipled in the things of the Lord and prepared for the work of the ministry, we invite you to become a member of the E3 Community. Reach out to us at [email protected] for more info.
Can I join the classes/drop-in at any time? No. Each session builds on the previous sessions. It is important that there is consistent engagement for discipleship success. Anyone who is interested in this discipleship track must register during the open registration period. Once the sessions commence, newly interested persons must wait for the next round of registrations. To get on our waitlist and to be notified of the next open registration, email us at [email protected].
What happens once I complete the Discipleship Foundations Track? This is the first of three tracks in the AEC equipping process. Once completed, if you should choose to continue, you will be able to register for the AEC Kingdom Service Prep Track, which will focus on discovering and understanding your ministry role within the body of Christ, as well getting plugged into hands-on service.
