A Discipleship Group, or D-Group, is a gender-specific group of 3-5 believers that meet weekly for 6-12 months for accelerated spiritual transformation. The focus of a D-Group is to grow in your relationship with Jesus through Bible reading, reflection, accountability, and prayer. Through these disciplines, you will come to know Jesus and who you are in Jesus, in new and meaningful ways - all while growing in relationship with your fellow group members.

Because Jesus commanded us to “Go therefore and make disciples…” and this is a new option for doing just that! D-Groups will help you understand what it means to be a disciple and how to make disciples for Jesus.

D-Groups are an intensive season of spiritual growth with a high level of commitment, with an equally tremendous benefit to those who participate. D-Groups will meet weekly (for 60-90 minutes) over a period of 6-18 months. Every 8 weeks or so, the group may reevaluate and see how the process is going for each member.

Pick the place of your choosing - Restaurants, coffee shops, and homes are all good options. Meeting in the community encourages your group members to publicize their faith, teaching them it's okay to read the Bible at a restaurant or pray in public. Be sure to select a place that is convenient to all group members. If you need the use of the church, you will need to make that request through the church office.

The only absolute requirement for leading a D-Group is that you be intentionally pursuing Christ. You do not need to be a master teacher or have all of the answers. If you can say, “Follow me; I’m pursuing Christ,” you have the tools you need to lead a D-Group.
As a D-Group leader, you set the tone for the group’s atmosphere. You are not lecturing students; you are cultivating an intimate, accountable relationship with a few close friends.

Pray about who to select.  You want to choose people that you enjoy, trust, and want to go on this journey together with.

Once you sign up to lead a D-Group, someone will be in touch about the next steps.  You will be supplied with what you need to get it going, you would just need your own Bible and journal.

If you want to join a D-Group, fill out this form  to tell us more about yourself, and someone will contact you about available groups.

If you already have 2-4 other people who want to start a D-Group, register your group here and someone will contact you to help you start and lead a new D-Group. We will provide helpful resources that will remove the intimidation of leading.
