One of the goals of Redeemer's Missions Ministry is cultivating a missional lifestyle in our church family and practicing disciple-making together. One of the ways we make that a reality is through Disciple-Making Groups. These are small groups of believers who gather for ten weeks to grow in evangelism, discipleship, and prayer in the context of a team.
So what do these groups do for ten weeks? The primary focus of this group is to encourage members into deeper times of fellowship, prayer, Bible study, and accountability as the team lives and ministers together in a missional community. "Mission" is not one of the purposes of the group - it is the reason the group exists.
The groups gather once a week to look back on all that God has done that week, discuss what we have learned, and look ahead to what God will do in the coming week. We take time for worship and prayer, dive into God's word, and practice evangelism tools. But the primary focus of these groups takes place outside of the scheduled meeting times, with weekly missional rhythms we develop together. We also practice a 3-2-1 lifestyle - three hours a week with Jesus, two hours a week with the lost, and one hour a week in corporate prayer. Our prayer is that God will move in mighty ways in our midst through this group commitment.
Though Disciple-Making Groups last for ten weeks, we hope to help you develop an enduring, missional lifestyle that will continue to replicate with other believers for years to come.
This class will be held off-campus. It will meet weekly on Monday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 PM from September 12th to November 14th. If you have any questions, feel free to send Patrick a message.
