# 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](/product/discipleship) to create a
program and pair mentors with members.
