"AND HE GAVED SOME AS APOSTLES, OTHERS AS PROPHETS, OTHERS AS EVANGELISTS,
OTHERS AS PASTORS AND TEACHERS, TO EQUIP THE HOLY ONES FOR THE WORK OF MINISTRY,
FOR BUILDING UP THE BODY OF CHRIST, UNTIL WE ALL ATTAIN TO THE
UNITY OF FAITH AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD."
(EPHESIANS 4:11-14)
BLD's Program of Teachings
The Renewed Mission of our Community begins:
"As a communion of encountered families, we are called by the Lord to build communities of disciples of Jesus Christ."
To do this work, BLD has developed a program of teachings to address the needs of Community members. The program
is called the Christian Discipleship Formation Program [CDFP] , runs over a span of more than four years and is divided
into phases appropriate to the individual's progress. All graduates of the Life in the Spirit Seminars are encouraged to
attend the growth and teachings available to them. These will enable them to be more open, knowledgeable and
experienced in appreciating the plan of God, the ways of Jesus and workings of the Holy Spirit. The whole program is
divided into several phases allowing an individual to focus, study and experience a part of a disciple's life. Each
teaching is designed to build upon what was previously taught, reflected on and experienced. The thematic flavor of
each phase is anchored in God's Word, as expressed in the accompanying passage in Scripture.
The BLD Teaching Ministry is responsible primarily for the implementation of the community's prescribed Christian
Discipleship Formation Program (CDFP). The CDFP is a 3-4 year program of instructions and retreats based on holy writ
and the magisterial teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Its main function is to form, inform and transform
community members for the work of minstry and to guide them to a deeper personal relationship with our personal Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ.
