Discipleship Groups

What is Discipleship?

After Jesus rose from the dead, he gave his disciples one final command before ascending to heaven: “Make disciples” (Matthew 28:19).

• Disciple: The word “disciple” simply refers to a person who follows the teachings and lifestyle of another person. So, when the Bible uses the term “disciple” it is referring to a person who follows the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus. 
• Discipleship: Discipleship, then, is the intentional process of helping someone grow in conformity to Jesus Christ.

Spaces for Discipleship

Although discipleship happens throughout the week as church members spend time with each other, Pillar Church facilitates discipleship by providing three spaces for discipleship to happen in a structured way: The Sunday morning worship gathering, Life Groups, and Discipleship Groups.

Discipleship Groups are groups of 2-4 people of the same gender who meet together on their own time on a consistent basis to hold each other accountable and to encourage one another.
