“I first learned about discipleship as a student at Westminster College as I attended and led small groups, and today, I serve as the Director of Disciplemaking and Spiritual Growth for the Pittsburgh Presbytery,” says Sharon Stewart. “I graduated from Westminster with a degree in Christian Education and a minor in psychology, and I am currently enrolled as a part-time student at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in the Master of Divinity program.
“The most important thing that I experienced through the CCO was learning what it means to be a disciple. Being a disciple involves following Jesus and staying connected to the One who empowers us to integrate our faith in all areas of life. Jesus said in John 15:5, ‘I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.’ My relationships through the CCO have provided fellowship and accountability because following Jesus is a life-long journey.”
