Get InvolvedTekton Discipleship
Tekton Discipleship is a program committed to forming the whole man. We believe the gospel lacks nothing and that God’s desire is to raise men into the image of Christ—men who will lead their families and communities with integrity.
Currently, we operate one discipleship home in Columbia, Tennessee, which houses 7–14 men at a time.
Spiritually
Leading young men to Jesus, rooting them in God’s Word, and cultivating a personal relationship with Him.
In Maturity
Embracing Hebrews 12 as a model for discipline and sonship. Teaching responsibility in finances, body, mind, spirit, and community.
In Skilled Trades
Equipping each man with a trade that enables him to provide for his family and serve his community.
We believe God is giving us a blueprint to raise up contractors and craftsmen who embrace their calling to “go and make disciples.” We long to see more young men equipped with the tools, character, and faith to transform their communities. We hold to the promise of Malachi 4:6.
