Summer 1-on-1 Discipleship

Grow deep. Lead well. Live sent.

FBCSM Student Summer Discipleship is an 8-week pathway for students who want to grow in their faith, meet weekly with a leader, and become equipped to lead other students, serve on Wednesday nights, and share Jesus with their friends.

What It Is

A simple path for serious growth.

This is not just coffee with a leader. This is a focused summer discipleship pathway built around Scripture, honesty, accountability, prayer, leadership practice, and gospel mission.

Weekly Leader Meetings

Students meet once a week with an approved FBCSM leader at the church or a public coffee shop for a guided conversation and devotional.

Consistent Accountability

Every week uses the same core questions so students learn to think honestly about Scripture, obedience, struggle, prayer, and next steps.

Real Leadership Practice

Students do not just learn ideas. They practice testimony, gospel conversations, prayer, serving, and leading in ways that can be used on Wednesday nights.

Why are we doing this?

We want students to become more than attenders. We want them to become disciples who know Jesus, follow Him personally, encourage other students, lead with humility, and share the gospel with confidence.

By the end of the summer, students should be better equipped to explain their testimony, share the gospel simply, pray with others, lead a short discussion, serve without needing attention, and take ownership of their faith.

The Process

Simple enough to repeat. Strong enough to matter.

Each weekly meeting follows the same rhythm. That makes it easier for leaders to lead and easier for students to grow with clarity.

Check In

Start with how the student is really doing — spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and practically.

Ask the Weekly Questions

Walk through the same five questions each week to build honest accountability and spiritual reflection.

Read a Short Devo

Read one passage of Scripture together and talk through one clear truth students can apply.

Practice Leadership

Give the student one practical leadership step connected to testimony, prayer, serving, or gospel conversations.

Pray and Set a Next Step

End with specific prayer and one action step before the next meeting.

Student Commitment

This is a growth commitment, not a casual hangout.

Students who sign up are committing to show up, be honest, take Scripture seriously, and follow through on weekly next steps.

Question 1 What did you read in Scripture this week, and what stood out to you?

Question 2 Where did you obey Jesus this week?

Question 3 Where did you struggle, compromise, or avoid obedience?

Question 4 Who did you intentionally encourage, serve, or pray for this week?

Question 5 What is one step of faith you need to take before we meet again?

8-Week Summer Path

Each week gives students a clear focus, a Scripture passage, and one leadership practice that moves them toward maturity and mission.
