Ongoing Disciple Making Process

They are independently run by past group participants or leaders and exist to keep the disciple-making movement an ongoing reality.  How frequently groups meet are up to each facilitator. Meet monthly, bi-weekly, or whatever works best for each group.

Groups are easy to execute, easy to join, and highly reproducible. Because each meeting stands alone, if you miss a meet-up, you won’t be behind. Rotating facilitators is encouraged to keep these groups manageable and ongoing.

How it works:

  • Rally together some recent group members and create a group

  • Find a spot conducive to deep and real conversations - You’ll want some privacy

  • Open up with this question, "How’s your heart"?”

  • Pray as you feel led for one another or close up in prayer

  • Make a “Men’s” Group or “Women’s” Group - Coed is not as ideal

    Find an ideal spot and time

    Pick your frequency - Monthly, Bi-Weekly, Bi-Monthly, up to you.

    Be a next-level listener and set the tone

    Set the tone by being vulnerable yourself

    Don’t feel the pressure to fix people or their problems, make it a safe environment where the Holy Spirit can lead

    Use this space as a launch pad for new groups and multiplication

  • How’s your intimacy with Jesus? (Core value of abiding)

    How’s your disciple-making? (High Challenge convo around your multiplication.)

    What is God saying to you and what will you do about it?

    How have you walked out what God last put on your heart?

  • Dominate the conversation, Interrupt often

    Let a few people do all the talking and leave out the others

    Keep your cards close and stay self protective - never be vulnerable

    Start late and run late - ignore time management

    Be overly opinionated and dogmatic about minor theological issues, or forget Jesus and bring up politics
