Stepwise - URC Discipleship Development Programme

This is a programme for everyone: all ages, shapes and sizes – including you!

It will be running every two weeks

Recommencing Friday 24th April 2026 starting at 12 noon with soup and fellowship

at Trinity with Palm Grove.

If you are keen to reflect on, and develop your Christian faith, ready to be stimulated and challenged, and want to make a difference in your own life and the lives of others, then Stepwise is what you are looking for. 

Stepwise is shaped around your strengths and needs, in the context of your own community and church. It emphasises the importance of learning from your daily life – wherever you are and whoever God might be calling you to be. It is designed for people of all ages and backgrounds and aims to deepen your discipleship and help you to grow in faith as you walk the way of Jesus.

The first sessions is ‘Faith-filled Life – personal calling and purpose’ – takes 3 months

Faith-filled Life  is made up of seven key themes:

  • Why Stepwise? An introduction to Faith-filled Life
  • Who am I? Exploring identity and faith
  • Where do I fit? How faith shapes our daily life
  • Where do I fit in my community? Thinking more about God’s mission in the world and how you are part of it.
  • My walk with God – what journey am I on?
  • Dealing with challenges? Building confidence and resilience for facing life’s challenges
  • Which way now? Looking back and looking forward
