Growing Disciples is an open resource that promises to grow us as disciples of Jesus Christ. Rather than merely 'knowing about' God, we will be helped to know him personally and relationally.
The Bible Narrative Stream aims to help us develop a regular devotional life with God by following the story of the bible right through in a year. Start any time. Choose to go as far as you wish with Daily Devotionals, Bible Readings, Growth Exercises and Prayer Projects. New devotionals are added each week day with all other resources updated monthly.
This is recommended for people who have been Christians for a while who want to grow in their day-by-day relationship with God.

The Studies Stream also has additional 'in depth' studies of some Books of the Bible, themes or topics-- with more being added all the time. Study papers will also be added to this section addressing questions and challenges commonly encountered in the text.
