Pastor Jay Schug of Community Fellowship Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama walks us through a biblical template for teaching the seven stages of spiritual growth in the disciple of Christ within the context of a local church.

1. Repentance,

2. Enlightenment/Illumination,

3. Ministry Training,

4. Leadership Development,

5. Reevaluation and Separation,
