Questions to focus on: Online discipleship

These questions can be used at different levels. You can take 30 seconds to think about one or two. You can discuss them in a team or group of like-minded Christians. Or they can be used in a college class, including assignments and research projects, and answered in writing at any depth. They may be freely reproduced for this purpose. Please email us additional questions that could be added to this page.

  1. Is discipleship done best in a face-to-face situation? If so, is online discipleship possible, and how can it best be used.
  2. Would you agree that a new Christian should be incorporated into a real (rather thanvirtual) group of Christians as soon as possible?
  3. What problems can we face in trying to locate a suitable church fellowship for a new Christian, perhaps on the other side of the world.
  4. If a new Christian lives many kilometers from a church fellowship, in what ways can the Web be a part of his/her ongoing Christian growth and support?
