The document outlines the discipleship process at CrossWinds Church, which involves several steps: Gospel Class, Tribe, Community Group, Mission work, and Ministry Entrepreneurs Class. It defines what a disciple is and discusses honoring God with time, money, Bible study and prayer. The community group questions cover areas like home life, sexuality, relationships with the church body, and barriers to community.

busy, we are all tired, we all have jobs and schedules. Yet
none of these are viewed by Christ as a justification for not
working at community with his body.

Pickiness/ judgmentalism / Arrogance:
This manifest in many ways. Sometimes the thing keeping
you from fellowship with the body is not everyone else. It is
your inability to like anyone else. Again, it is easy to
believe ourselves perfectly normal, and others we do not
like strange. It is also easy to tell ourselves that we just don’t
“connect” with certain people, and while this is sometimes
true, we are not free to abandon unity and fellowship. God
expects his body to show genuine love for his people, the
local church.
