Developing intentional friendships for the purpose of encouragement, accountability, and mutual spiritual growth towards Jesus.
D-Groups
Where discipleship happens best
What is a D-Group?
Groups of 2-5 women only and men only meeting together regularly for accountability and encouragement.
Joining or Starting D-GRoup
- Ask 1-2 friends if they'd like to join you. Agree on how often you would like to meet. Some groups meet weekly, or once or twice a month. Each group is different!
- Print and use this D-Group Bookmark to help with accountability questions during your group's meeting time. DGroup questions bookmark
- Once your group reaches 5 or so, split to form two groups and then continue inviting others. This process doesn't always happen quickly, but keep this in mind as your group grows.
- Multiplication of discipleship groups is important!

RESources
We ask three questions when we meet looking at markers of a healthy D-Group:
1. How are you feeding the Spirit?
- Abide Daily - John 15:5
- Engage Relationally - Romans 12:10
2. How are you starving the Spirit?
- Share Openly - Proverbs 28:13; James 5:16
- Respond Biblically - Isaiah 55:8; Romans 15:14; James 1:22
3. How are you feeding others?
- Serve Sacrificially - 1 Cor. 9:19
- Live Missionally - Matthew 28:18-20
BOOKS
These books are included to help guide the disciple outside of the D-Group meeting time.
We want to shy away from D-Groups being a book club meeting.
