Equipping the Church

Our unique emphasis is the focus on groups of 3-4 people for a transformative environment where people grow further into Christlikeness. Our motto is “Transforming and Multiplying Disciples Through Micro Groups for real change to take place. The strategy for empowering disciples who make disciples is a growing—organic—network of reproducing disciples over a period of 3-5 years. That means we equip the culture of the church so that it becomes a disciple-making body of Christ. In the relational environment of a micro group, the “curriculum map” is Discipleship Essentials. This 25-lesson basic content serves as the GPS. Then, as a transferable tool (for prospective disciple makers to make disciples who make disciples), we intentionally go slow and stay focused. Relationships matter. 

The role of the micro group in transforming a church into a disciple-making community is like the first stage of a multi-stage rocket. The first stage of the rocket is the most powerful because it must push through the earth’s gravitational pull. Can you imagine shifting people from passive to active, from consumers to contributors? The inertia of the resting state shifts to the inertia of disciples in motion!
