CALVARY JOURNEY QUESTIONS
At Calvary, we encourage our people to regularly examine themselves in regards to their progress along their journey of following Jesus, & their growth as a disciple. Below are 12 questions you can ask yourself or use in your Discipleship Group to pinpoint areas you need to work on along the KNOW, GROW, GO path.
