Discipleship connects mentors and members

Discipleship now supports a complete staff-led mentorship journey alongside classes and pathways. Churches can shape the program, pair an existing member with a permissioned staff mentor, and keep their conversations and next steps connected over time.

Mentorship that fits the church

Admins and teachers can create mentorship programs with a church-specific name, description, duration, meeting rhythm, and check-in prompt. They can also decide whether members may add their own shared check-ins. Discipleship managers assign members to staff who already have an appropriate Discipleship permission. Assigned teachers see their own pairings, while managers retain a church-wide view.

One shared journey

Mentors can add conversation summaries and next steps, manage the pairing’s active or paused state, and mark the journey complete. Check-in content is encrypted when stored. Members can open Mentorship from the mobile Discipleship screen to see their mentor, program rhythm, and shared timeline. When member contributions are enabled, the member can add a check-in after seeing clearly that it will be visible to the mentor. Shared check-ins do not replace a private journal. Personal goals and private class journals remain separate future work. Read the Discipleship product guide to create a program and pair mentors with members.
