Do you really want to be transformed? Are you ready to move toward a life with Christ and the heart of Christ? Have you taken a GPU class and joined a Life Group? Perhaps you are ready for a D-Group.
What are D-Groups?
Discipleship Groups (D-Groups) are part of the overall discipleship strategy of Grace Point Community Church. D-Groups are groups of 2-3 people who commit to helping each other "run the race in such a way as to receive the prize".
- They are relationships that will encourage us, challenge us and equip us.
- They are relationships of mutual accountability where we become regularly answerable for each of the key areas of our lives.
- They are relationships that help us with the three levels of transformation, focusing specifically on a transformed life and heart.
Why are D-Groups important?
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. – Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)
There is a level of intimacy with 2-3 people that is simply not possible with a larger group. It is also easier for 2-3 people to agree to seek God in an intentional, deep, consistent way than it is to get a group of 10 to do the same.
How Do I Start a D-Group?
Look for someone God has placed in your life who: 1) loves Christ; 2) wants to see you succeed; 3) also senses a need for the relationship; 4) you respect & trust; and 5) is complementary but compatible with you.
More suggestions on starting a D-Group can be found on the resources page.
