The Discover Life Groups ministry is designed to invite, encourage and engage members and participants of Discover Church to belong to a congregational small group within the city of Brooklyn Park and the surrounding communities of the Twin Cities. Each Small Group fosters a spirit of family and communal accountability as Disciples of Christ. As such, we witness and express the love of a gracious God, in action and/or in kind, to all those within our congregation and those in our communities.
By belonging to a Life Group, members and participants will have an opportunity to:
- connect and care for one another
- provide community services to their neighbors and community
- and form a strong and supportive faith-family as Discover Church live up to its potential as a church that is both in and for the community
EXPECTATIONS:
Each Life Group meets once a month (at minimum) in any setting the group desires (i.e., homes, parks, restaurants, etc.). In these gatherings, small group members check-in with one another, share concerns and prayer requests, engage in Biblical devotions/reflections/discussions provided to all Life Groups each month, and are open to the leading of the Spirit on how to be “good neighbors” to those in their respective neighborhoods and communities. On a regular basis, Life Groups have opportunities to share with the rest of the congregation (testimonials), on Sunday mornings, in newsletters, videos, etc., as to how, where and what is God doing through them in their respective neighborhoods.
What good will these Life Groups do? In a nutshell, each Life Group will: - provide support and care for its members
- help foster a spirit of family (faith-family)
- offer opportunities for discipleship and spiritual growth
- and discover ways of blessing and serving our communities
There are two (2) easy ways that you can join a Discover Life Group:
