RAGGED SCHOOL
~ Learning Christ ~
"The Christian life is not a sprint, but a long way of learning Christ..."
-
Ragged School is a nine-month discipleship cohort for ordinary Christians who desire to devote a season to the slow work of learning Christ together. The purpose of Ragged School is discipleship. We define discipleship as: Growing together in Christlikeness. This means that growth is expected, community is necessary, and Christ is both the goal and the means of our maturity.

Whole-Person Formation
Because Jesus is forming whole people—not just informing minds—Ragged School seeks to cultivate a disciple's head, heart, home, and hands so that we may increasingly follow Christ in every area of life.
Each monthly gathering will have two parts, beginning with a theological topic (head) and then rotating between topics aimed at forming the heart, home, and hands.
Head — Thinking theologically
Heart — Inner life with God
Hands — Doing Christ’s work
Home — Faithfulness in place
