Director of Discipleship

The home is the primary place of discipleship. Hackberry Creek Church (HCC) is made up of people who are following Jesus both when we gather for worship on Sunday and when we are sent out to our homes, workplaces, schools, and other activities. HCC places a high value on being together in our worship and discipleship ministries which informs and frames how we spend the other 166 hours a week. The job of the Director of Discipleship is to equip HCC to faithfully follow Jesus, both through ministry programs and through daily discipline as individuals and families.
