Discipleship Institute
Discipleship for All of Life
What Is Discipleship Institute?
Discipleship Institute (DI) is our version of Sunday School. But it’s not your typical Sunday School. Cedar Crest takes seriously the biblical concept of discipleship, which means becoming more like Christ in every facet of our lives. Every DI class is carefully crafted with this purpose in mind.
DI exists to enhance our understanding and practice of biblical discipleship.

Marriage That Glorifies God
Rooms 41/43
Marriage is continually under attack in our culture. Roughly one in four Christian marriages end in divorce. Married couples often do not see God’s glory as the primary goal for their marriage. However, God is the creator of marriage. His Word, and more explicitly the Gospel, provide us with the foundation we need for a healthy marriage. God is the most important person in our marriages. He created marriage for our good, but it is first for his glory. Most struggles in marriage occur when one or both partners lose sight of that goal and make themselves the goal rather than the glory of God. The Gospel provides the remedy for this problem.
