THE NEXT COHORT
Cohort 02 begins in early 2027. We are gathering young adults who want to go deeper in Scripture, ask honest questions, and follow Jesus in real community. We hope to begin with a committed core group, but the door stays open after launch.
INTEREST MEETINGS
Through 2026 we are hosting a few casual gatherings so you can meet the people, hear how we teach, and ask anything you want. No commitment, no pressure. Just come and see.
who we are. ↓
GoodLion School of Discipleship is a free, intentionally small school for spiritual and theological formation.
On Sunday nights, students gather in the Yukon / Oklahoma City area for food, fellowship, biblical teaching, discussion, and real Christian community. We study the story of Scripture, the teachings of Jesus, and what it means to live as his apprentices in ordinary life. We want to make theological and biblical education free and easily accessible for everybody.
No grades. No tuition. No pretending you have it all figured out.
Just Scripture, friendship, honest questions, and a room full of people learning to follow Jesus.
WHAT WE DO
We begin with about 30 minutes of food and fellowship, then move into roughly two and a half hours of biblical teaching and discussion woven together. This is not a sealed lecture. Students can ask questions, wrestle with ideas, follow threads, and bring the conversation into real life as we go.
We begin with food and unhurried conversation. Friendship is part of formation, so the room matters as much as the lesson plan.
We teach Scripture and theology deeply, but the conversation stays open. Questions, doubts, disagreements, and unfinished thoughts are welcome.
The conversation continues between Sundays through friendship, prayer, follow-up questions, and a group chat that helps the cohort become a genuine community.
Theology taken seriously.
Some weeks move slowly through a particular passage. Others trace a major biblical theme across the whole story of Scripture. We use accessible, seminary-quality resources, including BibleProject videos, visual teaching tools, and guided discussion.
The goal is always the same: to understand who Jesus is, what it means for him to be King, and how to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom here and now.
The School follows a two-course formation pathway that typically unfolds over about three years.
Course One builds a foundation through the big-picture themes of the Bible: the character of God, the problem of sin, the identity of Jesus, the shape of the Kingdom, and the calling of every believer.
Course Two moves slowly through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’ vision for the life of a disciple.

The School stays intentionally small so students can be known, mentored, and cared for personally.
As trusted leaders, volunteers, and teachers join the work, we can welcome more students without allowing that care to become thin.
The point is simple: no student should become anonymous.
in their words
“I used to pray because I felt I had left God's presence. Now I pray because I don't ever want to leave it. Thanks, Aaron.”
STUDENT · COHORT 01
“Stepping into that space feels like stepping out of the mainstream of busy, everyday life to recharge in a community of people pursuing Jesus. What a gift!”
STUDENT · COHORT 01
“GoodLion has brought me to a place where I have a desire to learn more and grasp a deeper understanding.”
STUDENT · COHORT 01
“This has had SUCH an impact on my group of friends. It feels like family. It's a safe environment, and it's comforting to see all of us striving toward the same goal.”

COHORT 02We are gathering a new community of young adults who want serious biblical theology, honest Christian friendship, and a life with Jesus that holds together beyond Sunday.
Cohort 02 begins in early 2027, and the door stays open after launch. If you find us later, you can still join the journey.
Gatherings happen Sunday nights from 6–9 PM in the Yukon / Oklahoma City area. Adding your name does not commit you to attend. It lets us keep you informed as the exact location and launch plans are finalized. View the Cohort Schedule.
a blessing to the local church
GoodLion strengthens the discipleship already happening in local churches.
We help young adults grow in biblical understanding, spiritual maturity, and the way of Jesus, so they can serve with greater depth in their own congregations.
Pastors are welcome to bring students, participate in the room, and help guide the conversation with their own young adults.
