WELCOME TO DISCIPLESHIP AT CBS
The Discipleship Team serves the CBS mission by striving to see that every student’s CBS experience is not merely an academic endeavor, but a transformational encounter with the Living God! We come alongside each student to help them fulfill Paul’s directive from the Lord to the believers in Rome: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2).
This process involves a tried-and-true process we call the CARE Model:
- Counsel
- Accountability
- Relationship
- Encouragement
For a description of this powerful process, visit the Coaching page (under “Mentorship”).
