Progressing Together Level 1 is a discipleship program for new believers to enable them to walk with the Lord, feed themselves on the Word of God and integrate into fellowship with other believers. Written by experienced workers, this program is also known as the ‘Growth’ courses.It offers 11 courses on key discipleship topics, each containing 5 studies, for a total of 55 lessons. Ideally they should be used in group study: students start by preparing each lesson as a personal Bible study – this will take 1-2 hours – and then share their discoveries with others and pray together under the guidance of a group leader. The total time needed for the study of one course is around 15 hrs. As students progress, they grow in spiritual discernment, stability of walk, and ability to disciple others.
Level 1 Courses:
PART I : Rooted in Christ
So then,just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,continue to live your lives in him,rooted and built up in him,strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7
PART II : Bearing Fruit for his Glory
109 Spiritual Warfare and the Occult
111 Forgiveness and Reconciliation
112 Prepared to Give and Answer
We pray…that you may live a life worthy of the Lordand may please Him in every way;bearing fruit in every good work,growing in the knowledge of God.
Colossians 1:10
A variety of study options are available. Study groups could meet weekly, once every other week, or intensively—completing a full course of 5 lessons in a weekend or one each evening for a week.

To have a look at the course, make sure you have downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader first. You will then be able to print the courses and make as many copies as you need.
A leader’s guide is currently available for certain courses. There is also a Manual for Group Leaders which includes suggested exam essay questions for the final session of each course, as we have found an exam can be motivating and can help the students to internalize what they have learned. Alternatively, short-answer exam questions are provided for each course in the separate ‘Exams’ file.
