Core Values Guide Our Decisions Disciplemaking is the church’s mission,  not just one bullet point of the many things a church does. MicroGroups:  Disciples grow best and are empowered to disciple others in gender-specific groups of triads (3) or quads (4). Intentional:  Discipleship requires purposeful, covenantal, relational investment. Transparent Relationships:  God’s Word shapes our hearts in an honest, open, and mutually accountable environment. Biblically-Based Curriculum:   Discipleship Essentials  covers the foundations for a life in Christ and is the empowerment tool we use to disciple others. Indigenous:  Discipleship movements should become self-governing, self-supporting, and self-propagating. Multiplying:  Disciples are made to reproduce.

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, t he “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 mu

  Transform to become the person you were created to be!  If we want to be Christian disciples who mature and multiply, we need to keep it simple. Making disciples of Jesus Christ is not easy. That takes focused investment over time, led by the Spirit of God instead of our own "trying harder" by human effort. Surrender.  There are no microwave disciples What we mean is the context or environment in which disciples are made. That system of intentional reproduction need not be so complex that the multiplication collapses.  A micro group is not a microwave group. Micro means "small" so that there are 3-4 people who gather around a shared covenant of commitments, meet weekly, engage a biblically-based disciple-making curriculum, open hearts transparently to another, and then commit upon completion to go on to prayerfully ask 2-3 others who intentionally want to replicate the process.  Global Discipleship Initiative (GDI) Resources: Find out more at globaldi.org and acc
