DISCIPLESHIP GROUP FAQ

What is a Discipleship Group?

A Discipleship Group is a closed, gender-specific group of 3-5 believers who meet weekly for a season of accelerated spiritual growth and then replicate into multiple new Discipleship Groups.

What happens in a Discipleship Group?

The group has five key disciplines that each member focuses weekly on in their personal life:

Reading the Bible through one of our Foundations Reading Plans
Writing and sharing a H.E.A.R. Journal from one of those passages
Engaging in mutual accountability with their group members
Memorizing and meditating on scripture together
Praying for each other and their one person in their life that doesn’t have an active relationship with Jesus

What will happen for an individual after being in a discipleship group?

The members will display the MARCS of a disciple:

Missional: A disciple engages with those unengaged with the church.
Accountable: A disciple is real with oneself, God, and others.
Reproducible: A disciple invests in men and women who are faithful
Communal: A disciple intentionally shares life with other believers.
Scriptural: A disciple experiences intimacy with Christ through regularly reading, meditating, and obeying God’s Word.

What happens when a Discipleship Group ends?

After a season of time (normally between 9-18 months), the Discipleship Group spends its final weeks preparing to go from one group to multiple groups and each of its members to move from being a disciple to a disciple maker.

What is the curriculum?

Helping believers read and interact directly with the Bible is the most influential factor in a person’s growth. The group curriculum is the Bible reading plans. Instead of using a commentary or a different book, the D-Group will travel through God’s Word together and share the insights they get from their devotional time (H.E.A.R. Journals) with each other.
