Welcome to the climb
We’re excited to introduce The Climb, the new discipleship framework for Family Ministry at Grace Bible Church. The Climb is built around Paul’s words in Philippians 3: “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” We believe following Jesus is a lifelong journey of grace—taking the next faithful step toward Christ, alongside others who are doing the same.
The Climb gives us a clear picture for how we want to disciple kids and students from birth through young adulthood. Each stage is designed around both biblical truth and the way God has designed children to grow and develop. From learning “Am I loved?” in the earliest years to asking “Where am I going?” as young adults, we want to help every kid, student & young adult know God’s love, learn His truth, find belonging, gain identity in Christ, walk with Jesus, and eventually own their mission.
This is not about rushing kids toward maturity or creating a checklist they have to complete. It is about intentional formation with a clear destination. Our hope is that by the time students reach young adulthood, they understand what they believe and why, recognize how God has shaped them, and are equipped to choose the next faithful climb as lifelong followers of Jesus.
We’re excited to partner with you as we help the next generation live and love like Jesus.
