Seven Qualities of a Mature Reproducing Disciple of Jesus Christ

At Otterbein Church, our purpose is to make reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ. Toward that end, we have identified seven qualities we believe characterize a person who is a "maturing reproducing disciple of Jesus Christ" based on our study of Scripture. As a church, we are committed to help every person who attends Otterbein Church grow in each of these seven qualities. Following is an overview of the seven qualities with related Scriptures for each quality.

We have prepared a Personal Spiritual Health Assessment to help a person assess how they are doing in each of the seven qualities. Click here for a downloadable copy of the Personal Spiritual Health Assessment.
