Discipleship & Mentoring

Growing Together in Truth and Life

Real transformation happens in relationship. At ACU, you won’t walk your faith journey alone. Through intentional discipleship and mentoring, you’ll discover what it means to follow Jesus in community—iron sharpening iron, life speaking into life.

Discipleship That Goes Deep

Beyond classroom theology and chapel worship lies the heart of spiritual formation: authentic relationships where faith becomes real. Our discipleship opportunities create space for honest questions, genuine growth, and lasting transformation.

Small Groups Across Campus
With over 12 student-led groups meeting weekly, you’ll find a community that fits your schedule and style:

  • Residence hall Bible studies that turn neighbors into family
  • Academic major groups connecting faith to your future career
  • Interest-based studies exploring specific books or topics
  • Gender-specific groups for deeper accountability

Life-on-Life Mentoring
Connect with faculty, staff, or older students who’ve walked where you’re walking. These one-on-one relationships provide:

  • Personal guidance through life’s challenges
  • Wisdom for navigating faith and academics
  • Prayer support and encouragement
  • Real-world application of Biblical truth

Student Leaders Making a Difference

Thursday chapels showcase just one way students lead at ACU. As a Life Group leader, you’ll:

  • Guide weekly discussions that matter
  • Create safe spaces for spiritual exploration
  • Develop leadership skills that last a lifetime

Beyond Bible Study

Discipleship at ACU isn’t confined to formal programs. It happens:

  • Over coffee conversations that last until midnight
  • Through serving together in the community
  • During prayer walks around campus
  • In honest moments after difficult days
  • Through celebrating victories and mourning losses together
