Multiplication is greater than addition. What we mean by that is Jesus’ plan of evangelism for us is not only to reach others with the Good News of the Gospel, but also to train new believers to make more disciples. In other words, adding to the Kingdom one by one is less effective than the exponential growth that happens when new Christians become disciples who make more disciples.
Our desire for 2024 is that every member of our church be challenged to reach out into their neighborhoods and workplaces and impact people who don’t know Jesus or don’t have a church home. We want YOU to ask the Lord to show you who He wants you to reach out to!
We believe the best way to activate members of our church to be true disciples of Christ is through DGroups. A DGroup is a discipleship group of 3-5 people of the same gender who read the Bible together, discuss it, and meet regularly to encourage & pray for each other. DGroups are a catalyst for transforming Christians into disciples. Through study, encouragement, and accountability in a DGroup, a Christian can begin to fulfill the calling on their life to truly follow Jesus. The final piece of this strategy is to help make disciples that make more disciples. This is Biblical multiplication.
We encourage all church members to join a DGroup and begin the journey of studying the Bible, encouraging each other, and praying for each other. Through this year-long study, you will go through the Old Testament over the course of 2024. First time with Discipleship? Start with the New Testament.
To begin, register your interest in a DGroup. From there we will help place you in a group that fits your stage of life.
