DISCIPLESHIP GROUP FAQ

What is a Discipleship Group?
Discipleship Groups at Central are designed to help you mature in your relationship with Jesus while becoming a doer of the word. It's also a place for you to find encouragement, care and accountability as you serve one another and develop your spiritual gifts. Our ultimate goal for you is to become a disciple of Jesus who, in turn, makes disciples.
Why should I join a Discipleship Group?
  • To learn how to follow Jesus in your everyday life.
  • To be known, encouraged and challenged. 
  • To grow in your knowledge of scripture and in prayer. 
  • To serve together and serve on mission with fellow believers.
What should I expect at a Discipleship Group?
  • Groups meet weekly or bi-weekly in homes or at the church
  • Meetings typically last around 90 minutes
  • Prayer for needs of the group and others
  • Discussion of the weekly Bible reading or topic. Unless otherwise stated below or by the leader, Discipleship Groups will be going through the book of Acts this winter.
  • Ways you will apply what you have learned to your everyday life will be discussed
Who can join a Discipleship Group?
  • Anyone, but you can also look below for one designed specifically for men, women or life stage
  • You can join a Discipleship Group at any time
  • You can also leave a Discipleship Group at any time to go to a Transformation Group or Class. Once that Transformation Group or Class has ended you are welcome to rejoin your Discipleship Group. 
Do you offer other types of Groups?
Yes! Along with Discipleship Groups we also offer:

Online starts August 10 @ 6:30pm

GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief.
