Discipleship Pathway graphic - Discover Jesus, Follow Jesus, Worship Jesus, Share Jesus

Missionary discipleship emphasizes that every follower of Jesus is called to share the Gospel and make new disciples. It's not just a role for a select few, but a fundamental aspect of Christian life, rooted in Jesus’ Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

In the diocese of Green Bay, we've been given a pathway by Bishop Ricken to grow as missionary disciples. The pathway consists of four parts that reflect the process through which disciples are called, formed, and sent to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those in their homes, neighborhoods, and community.

Discover Jesus - Follow Jesus - Worship Jesus - Share Jesus

Of course, in order to share Jesus with others, we must first know him ourselves. Missionary disciples understand that this pathway is not linear, but rather a circular one. Therefore, whether you are a long-time parish leader or parishioner, coming back to the faith after an absence, or exploring a faith-life for the first time, there is a place on this pathway for you!

Check out some of the ways you can get connected to the pathway below!
