Christian Perceptions of Discipleship Program in Africa Gospel Church Nkoroi in Kajiado County, Kenya

Abstract

Discipleship is undoubtedly one of the fundamental ministries of the church. For a church to experience a qualitative growth of its members, there has to be a focus on spiritual formation and development programs. This study aimed to understand the perceptions of Christians in Africa Gospel Church (AGC) Nkoroi on discipleship programs. It used a descriptive research design, with the target population comprised 215 church members. Twenty members were sampled and interviewed. The study found that AGC's emphasis on discipleship and spiritual growth has played a significant role in shaping the lives of its members and enabling them to live out their faith in meaningful ways. Also, the involvement of senior pastors and senior church members was found to be crucial in creating an environment where discipleship is valued and promoted. Finally, the study found that AGC Nkoroi's discipleship needs improvement to be more effective.
