2024 Winter Discipleship Groups
Thresholds and Portals
Are you going through a transition in our life? Experienced a loss of any kink, no matter how recent? Feelling grief, perhaps? This Spirit-led, prayer-facilitated, Scripture-supported, and grace-based group gently helps people through hard times and lends itself to gospel-informed transformation.
Men's Morning Bible Study
This one-hour online group meets Wednesday mornings on Zoom at 6:30 am to share prayer concerns and to read and discuss the Scripture for the upcoming Sunday morning.
Exploring Galatians
Pastor Ryan will lead this group at Normandy Farms on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30-3 pm.
This will be an in-depth study of the grace-filled book of Galatians.
Koinonia
We call ourselves Koinonia because our focus is on walking together through life’s ups and downs. We open with a time of fellowship and catching up, study, then end with a time of prayer for each other. We do an inductive study of a book of the Bible.
Going Deep with Beatitudes
You are invited on a 12-week journey deep into the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12). This small group co-facilitated by Moses Kim and Sandy Price will meet weekly on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. in the church lounge.
Gospel of Mark
We are called to be and to make disciples of Jesus. A disciple is a follower, student, or apprentice. To follow someone, we must know them and study their lives. Let’s dive into the life of our Rabbi and Savior together as we study the book of Mark.
Journey with John the Apostle
We are called to be and to make disciples of Jesus. A disciple is a follower, student, or apprentice. To follow someone, we must know them and study their lives. Let’s dive into the life of our Rabbi and Savior together as we study the book of John.

What Are Discipleshipl Groups?
A discipleship group happens when a group of people seek spiritual growth together. These are groups anywhere from 4-12 people who meet regularly. Each discipleship group should regularly experience the following:
RELATIONSHIPS
Social activities outside of the group, meals or snacks together before or after the group
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Biblically based study, practicing spiritual disciplines, and growing deeper in our relationships
PRAYER
Praying for the needs of the group, as well as the needs of others in our community, and the world
SERVICE
James said, “Faith without works is dead.” Small groups strive to serve together or on their own
OUTREACH
Jesus invites us into a relationship with Him and we are to invite others so that they might have a relationship with him, too.
And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
