What is the Guys Like Us?
Guys Like Us is a community of people desiring to learn what it means to be a Disciple of Christ. The word "disciple" means learner in Greek and is the foundation of this community. The biblical disciples, listened, questioned, and acted on God's word to learn about Him through a strong relationship in Jesus Christ. The world, no different than it was many years ago, calls on us to respond as disciples. We live to serve, love, and empower others through our approach of listening, questioning, and acting.
Mathētḗs (from math-, the "mental effort needed to think something through") – properly, a learner; a disciple, a follower of Christ who learns the doctrines of Scripture and the lifestyle they require; someone catechized with proper instruction from the Bible with its necessary follow-through
