Discipleship
Katartismos in the Vineyard
Katartismos is the Greek word used in the Bible in Ephesians 4:12 that translates "...to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up".
It's a word used for discipleship. Meaning to become all that God intends us to be. the word's literal meaning is to complete furnishing, or preparation for a purpose.
At CVC we offer classes, events & online resources to help build one another up. The most effective resource that we offer are transparent relationships that are a positive influence in our life, becoming "iron that sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17).
