In endeavouring to fulfil the Great Commission in our lifetime by building strong and biblical people to plant strong biblical churches in Singapore and all over the world, we now have an integrated discipleship model.

This model is birthed out of extensive research on the core competencies (consisting of 9 attitudes, 9 skills and 8 knowledge attributes) of a Hope member and the study of a member’s life and ministry in the church. It also looked into the learning avenues and resources that our church is providing for our members.

This Roadmap is conceptualised particularly with the next 5 years in mind (2007-2011). It's available in several versions - printed, online and CD-ROM. Now there are several progressive steps you can take to make lifelong learning exciting and possible.

The following are tools and resources made available for every member:
