Discipleship Teams

Have you ever watched a teen grapple with their faith and wish, “If only they had someone close to their age to talk about the faith with…” Discipleship Teams offer just that–a team of 6-8 young adult missionaries whose mission is to invest in communities to enrich Catholic culture and build a community of disciples who have a lasting relationship with Christ.

While these missionaries live in your community, they make it their aim to get to know as many people as they can. They assist with youth events, attend school lunches and after-school activities, meet with students one-on-one, form discipleship groups, and stay with host homes throughout the community.

See discipleship in action

Discipleship Teams focus on evangelistic outreach, life-changing discipleship, and Christian witness. It’s never our goal to replace, substitute, or fill the void of active ministry programs in a community, but rather to enhance the ministry already happening.

The discipleship teams have made a lasting impact on our youth and community. The team’s witness of an authentic life as disciples of Christ have not only taught the youth more about the Catholic faith, but have introduced them to Jesus Himself.

The NET Team has helped me through some difficult situations in my life. I can’t thank you guys enough for what you do; for listening, for teaching, and for being great people. You guys have impacted this community and me very positively. You’ve inspired a generation, as well as me, to grow in faith and charity.

Since getting confirmed, I have grown closer to the NET Team and have been able to find community in them. Finding community with other peers at my school who are pushing each other to be better has been such an uplifting experience. As I head to college, I know I need to find a community like I have experienced here through the NET Missionaries.
