DE Groups
Transformation is the result of a combination of at least three factors.
- Relational Transparency: Our willingness to become self-revealing with other believers on the journey toward maturity in Christ (horizontal) is the critical sign that we truly want the Lord (vertical) to remake us into His image.
- Truth in Community: If we want the Scripture to become more than compartmentalized information, we must study, meditate and memorize the Word in a relationally interactive setting.
- Life-Change Accountability: We need partners on the journey that will not only witness that we have filled in the blanks of our discipleship manual, but know the struggles we fight to overcome and loving stand with us as we live into a new reality.
When you consider the above ingredients, they require a setting where deep trust can lead to openness; there is considerable opportunity to share insight and application of God's word; and where you are known in your shortcomings and are loved beyond them. In our experience this does not happen once you get five or more people in a small group. It can and does happen in the dynamic interchange of these smaller, reproducible units.
Jesus had a big enough vision to think small. Focusing on a few did not limit his influence. Rather, it expanded it. Discipleship Essential groups are designed to help us influence others as Jesus did--by investing in a few.
We invite you to join us and would love to have you experience the power of discipleship and the world-changing moments you'll enjoy! For more information, please contact Antonio Vincenti at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
