A D-Group (Discipleship Group) consists of 3 to 5 people who are committed to putting down deep roots together spiritually for a period of 12 - 18 months. At the end of the year, we hope to see each member start their own D-Group and replicate the group experience by inviting others to take the same discipleship journey with them.

D-Groups choose when and where to meet. They'll spend time together each week in prayer, in God's Word, and enouraging and challenging each other as they put down deep spiritual roots together in Christ. D-Groups can begin anytime during the year, we just ask that you let us know by registering your group below! 

GET ROOTED
Colossians 2:6-7 "Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."

Once you have connected with 3-5 people who are ready to join your D-Group, please complete the group registration form to share your group information and meeting times. We'll send you information, tips, and other resources to help you make disciples!

Questions & Answers

A D-Group (discipleship group) consists of three to five men or women, gender-specific, who are committed to growing together spiritually for a period of one year. At the end of the year, we hope to see each member start their own D-Group and replicate the group experience by inviting others to take the same discipleship journey with them. 

D-Groups are NOT a group Bible study, but rather provide an opportunity for group members to share their personal takeaways from the previous week's Bible reading passages.

D-groups form through pre-existing, meaningful relationships with other believers in environments like Grow Groups or Classes.

If you want to join a D-Group, talk with your Grow Group leader about when the next D-Group starts. If you already have 2-4 friends who want to start a D-Group, fill out this form, and we can help you launch and lead a new D-Group. Our staff will provide helpful resources that will remove the intimidation of leading.

D-Groups meet at an agreed-upon location once each week for one to two hours depending upon the group.

Each member of the group is asked to be faithful in his D-Group attendance each week, as consistently as possible. You will be asked to keep confidentiality and accountability within your group, along with daily Bible reading and weekly scripture memory. You will keep a written daily journal to record your spiritual journey each day. Each day (five days a week), you will read the scripture outlined in the Bible Reading Plan that your group chooses and record your observations in your journal. Then, each week during the D-Group, every member of the group will share one or two personal entries from their D-Group journal, recite the scripture memory verse, and spend time in prayer together. 

  • You will experience spiritual growth.
  • You will learn to experience God's work in your life in a fresh, new way.
  • You will develop deep and lasting friendships within the group.
  • God's Word will become alive and fresh as you learn to make application to your life daily.
  • You will learn to achieve authentic community with God and others.
  • You will build God's Word in your life through scripture memory. 
Resources for D-Groups

Groups are free to choose any Bible reading plan that their group agrees upon, but we recommend the Five-Day Reading Plan. Groups can choose to read the entire Bible or just the New or Old Testament. Both reading plans promote reading the Bible with the life-transforming purpose of understanding and responding to God's Word. We suggest using a D-Group journal to record your responses to each day's passage. We encourage groups to decide on what scripture verses to memorize together. If you don't know what verses to memorize each week, a great resource is Fighter Verses.
