God wants you to grow up. His goal is for you to mature and develop the characteristics of his son, Jesus Christ. Spiritual growth is not automatic. It takes an intentional commitment. You must want to grow, choose to grow, put forth effort to grow and persist in growing. Discipleship—the process of becoming like Jesus—always begins with a decision.

This process is facilitated by practicing a variety of spiritual disciplines such as bible study, prayer, meditation, journaling and sharing what you've learned.
To facilitate this process of growing into Christ-likeness, Open Heavens Fellowship has a series of practical workshops to help you grow. Above you can see a picture of our life cycle and how the process begins. Spiritual growth begins with a decision to embark on the journey and a commitment to continuous growth. These workshops help you begin the journey and provide the tools and maps you need to continue growing into Christlikeness.
