Discipleship Groups

 Discipleship Groups are made up of 2 to 8 people, of the same gender (typically), who meet together to invest in each other’s spiritual growth. In this group you will come together with those you trust to connect to God through His Word, counsel each other in the gospel, equip each other for ministry, and pray together.
