• We exist so everyone in our parish boundaries can come to know the fullness of life lived with Jesus.
• This initiative helps to cultivate a culture of discipleship within the parish, where every person is invited, guided, and equipped to live out their mission as a disciple of Christ.

• The Clear Path of Discipleship is a blueprint for how our parish can make disciples by recognizing where people are at in their journey and guiding them along the way to becoming fruitful disciples.
• While everyone’s conversion is unique and personal, the process of conversion can generally be marked by several key moments. Individuals move from distrust to a firm decision to trust in Jesus and join in Jesus’ mission to make disciples.
• The Clear Path accompanies people along this path of conversion.

"To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him is the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement." St. Augustine

• Our heart longs for this romance and adventure. In following Jesus as his disciple, we find it.
• To be a disciple means to follow in imitation of a master. When Jesus calls us to be his disciples, he calls us to be other Christs in the world.
• Jesus’ first teaching to his disciples is to go be fishers of men. His last teaching is to go and make disciples of all nations. For Jesus, his call for us to follow him as disciples means that in its fullness, we share in his mission of making disciples.
• His ultimate vision for us is to be fruitful disciples who are willing to make any sacrifices to help others grow spiritually towards the disciple-making mission

The Clear Path of Discipleship offers an opportunity for conversion, clarity, and connection, ensuring that no one gets lost in their journey of faith.

• Conversion – helps people come to know Jesus, follow him as his disciple, and share him with others.
• Clarity – makes readily known the invitations to make so someone can begin their journey or take the next step.
• Connection – helps ministries work together to guide individuals from one step to the next by extending the right invitations and connecting them to others.

Success is not about simply collecting more participants for a particular ministry, but rather about providing a context for accompanying people at every stage of their journey.

In 2021, the parish implemented a strategic plan that clarified the vision and mission of the primary activities of the parish: to abide in Christ and build his Kingdom by making disciples. The parish’s governance was reorganized to reflect Jesus’ offices of priest, prophet, and king. The ministries involved in these offices have helped us stay true to this plan. You can find the parish organizational chart here: St. Peter Organizational Chart.

• Priestly ministries help us worship and remain devoted to the Lord in prayer.
• Kingly ministries help us be good stewards of our resources/facilities and care for those in need.
• Prophetic ministries help us evangelize and teach others to hear and respond to God's Word.

Our Clear Path of Discipleship is a plan for all parishioners to participate in the prophetic office of the parish and in their own call to join in Jesus’ mission to make disciples.

This list is the product of prayer and discussions over the past two years by Fr. Clark, the Clear Path Team (some members of parish and school staff), and the Discipleship Council.

• A Clear Path of Discipleship is designed for adults on their discipleship journey.
• Adults are responsible for the development of children as disciples, so as adults, we begin with ourselves first.
• Children and youth programs will remain an important part of our mission to make disciples.

• Your ministry will continue to serve the priestly and kingly offices of the parish which will support the Clear Path.
• Your ministry will come to be filled with missionary disciples using their God-given gifts to participate in its work.
• You will hear and see Clear Path ministries prioritized in parish communications and scheduling.

• The Clear Path is designed for you to become a fruitful disciple and then use your gifts in a particular area or ministry to help others along their journey toward joining Jesus in his mission to make disciples, rather than you being involved with everything.
  
  
• Anyone who is wondering what it means to be a fruitful disciple or how to begin making disciples should begin by attending Reach One More. The next offering for the parish will be on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 pm from May 28 through July 2, 2025.

Yes. Our parish staff would love to schedule informational sessions with groups and ministries about the vision for a Clear Path of Discipleship.
