D-GROUPS

MAKE DISCIPLES

Jesus gave us the perfect model of making disciples, which he demonstrated with his own disciples. As we continually and passionately renew the call to follow Jesus Christ on the college campus, we strive to utilize those same principles. Using Jesus as our example we work to introduce students to Him, strengthen their devotion and commitment to Him, and help them become disciples who make disciples — on campus, in their career, and in their families. Discipleship is an important process for every believer that provides intimate friendships, an environment of accountability, and most importantly, it cultivates a life rooted deeply in God’s Word.

What is a D-GROUP?

// A D-Group is gender-specific group of 3 to 5 students (including the leader) who meet together weekly for the purpose of accelerated spiritual transformation.
// While RE-Groups exist for the purposes of community growth and fellowship. A D-Group, on the other hand, consists of students who desire a deeper walk with Christ. It is not evangelistic in its form or function, but in its fruit: it makes disciples who will then go on to make more disciples.
// The format of a D-Group is relationship. In their book The Invested Life, Joel Rosenberg and T.E. Koshy suggest that a discipleship relationship is “more personal, more practical, and more powerful. A teacher shares information, while a discipler shares life; a teacher aims for the head, while a discipler aims for the heart; a teacher measures knowledge, while a discipler measures faith; a teacher is an authority, while a discipler is a servant; and a teacher says, ‘Listen to me,’ while a discipler says, ‘Follow me.’” This blueprint, sketched by Jesus Christ through His personal example, is how discipleship is accomplished in the lives of believers. When this plan is followed, those involved will participate in three dynamics that result in growth in their personal lives, as well as in the Kingdom: community, accountability, and multiplication.
