Discipleship Groups
A key way to grow in your faith is to pursue discipleship with a few other people as you study Scripture together. At Village Church, we have a method for discipleship called Discipleship Groups. Our desire is to be a church that equips every believer to make disciples of Jesus.
WHAT ARE DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS?
3 to 5 (max) people, men with men and women with women
Meeting weekly at a time that fits with our schedule (early, lunch, evening, weekend, etc.)
A focus on becoming more like Jesus in every area of life
A primary diet of studying Scripture together
Occasionally supplemented with timely topics
Growing in Redemption > Mission > Community > Culture as a life of Worship
Coaching and support from the church

HOW DO I JOIN OR START A DISCIPLESHIP GROUP?
The first place to start is to ask in your Community Group if anyone knows of Discipleship Groups you could join, or if anyone is interested in starting one. Your Community Group Leader would love to help you with this. If you're not already in a Community Group, that should be your first step. Or, if you know other people at Village who would like to start a group with you, that’s OK also. Pick a time and get started!
If you need a little more help getting connected in a Discipleship Group, we will be glad to help you. Fill out this form:
Be sure to join the “Men’s Discipleship” or “Women’s Discipleship” groups on Village Church Online (VCO), where you will receive encouragement and support for your group.
