Discipleship Groups: Intentional and Authentic Community
Joining a discipleship group is a great way to get connected to others who share your desire to follow Jesus. Each group typically consists of 8-12 people who meet together every two weeks and includes parishioners, friends, and neighbors. Following a pattern of fellowship, study, and prayer, discipleship groups help to develop intentional and authentic Christian community wherein we can become better disciples, growing in our love for God and one another.
