Discipleship Walk The Discipleship Walk is a three-day weekend designed to give believers an opportunity to take a break from  regular routines and experience the love of God in a
new and fresh way. It is the intention of the Discipleship Walk to lead
each person into a closer relationship with Christ where they might
become more intentional and mature in their faith, so that each can
make a difference for Christ in his or her world. Over 3,000 adults and
teens have experienced the Discipleship Walk
since it’s inception in 1989. It is heavily patterned after the Walk to
Emmaus, The Cursillo Movement, The Great Banquet, and other similar
weekends across denominational lines. Who is involved? The Discipleship Walk is a joint ministry between Radiant Christian Life in Westfield and Crossroads Church in Avon. Each weekend is lead by teams of Lay people from these churches, along with a pastoral representative from one of the churches. Do I have to attend Radiant or Crossroads in order to attend the Walk or work a team? The Crossroads/Radiant Discipleship Walk is open to believers regardless of where they attend church. What happens on the weekend? First of all, there is no hiking involved. The weekend is highly structured and includes a series of talks, discussions, chapel times, prayer time, music, lots of food and fun. It has been described as a ‘short course in Christianity’ and many believers feel that this weekend experience has renewed and re-energized their walk with the Lord. The Walk is not intended as a “quick fix” for a person in crisis or as a vehicle for the salvation experience. If you would like to take your Christian walk to a deeper level or if you are experiencing a spiritual dryness, you will surely benefit from the Discipleship Walk. Where is it? Most of the walks are held in Hartford City, IN at Lake Placid Conference Center. When can I go? Women's Walk - October 16-19th (2008) Men's Walk - October 23-26th (2008) Youth Walk - January 17-19th (2009) How much does it cost? The fee is $100 per person for the Adult Walks, and that includes all meals and lodging. There are some scholarship funds available – we do not want money to stand in the way if a person desires to attend the Discipleship Walk. (Incidentally, if you have attended a weekend and would like to contribute to the scholarship fund for someone new to attend, contact our treasurer, Lorna Mills at 873-0221.) How do I sign up?
