DG's:  a.k.a Discipleship Groups!

This just might be one of the most important web-pages  you will ever visit.

If you are thinking of joining a DG, let me quote Pastor Jeff by saying...  "YEEEEE  HAAAAA!"

This is a great investment in your life and the lives of some soon to be close friends.

What is a Discipleship Group?

A group of available, faithful, teachable, and responsive 7th-12th grade students determined to grow in Christ-likeness and practically live out their faith. Discipleship Groups consist of 6-8 female or male students and one or two adult and/or student leaders. Groups meet weekly throughout the school year for Bible study, prayer, sharing, training, and fellowship.

Who should join a discipleship group?

• Only those students who seriously want to grow deeper in their faith.
• Only those who really want to serve Jesus.
• Only those who are willing to be held accountable and to hold others accountable in love.
• Only those who can really commit themselves to the group.

What commitments would I have to make?

• Regularly attend weekly meetings (lasting approximately 1 1/2 hours). Meeting dates and times are determined by consensus of each group.
• Willingness to support peers within the group through prayer,encouragement, reproof in love, etc.
• A diligent study of Christian growth disciplines and discipleship (including occasional homework assignments).
• Serving Midland Free and other organizations through service 
  projects (as a group).

Why do we have to have commitments?

• To have people of like mind together, committed to the same strategy and carrying it out the same way. And as a tool to help you discern whether or not God wants you to be involved.
• Please pray about your decision to commit to a Discipleship Group. It can be loads of fun as your group grows together, but it can also be very challenging.
