Group Ministry

Conversations on Group Practices

The Essentials of Small Groups

Community-Building

Just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have existed from all eternity in perfect community, God has created us in His image in order to live in biblical community. Our unity displays the oneness of God in the Trinity. See Genesis 1:26 and John 17:21

Culture-Shaping

As we grow in our obedience to Jesus through the group environment, every area of our lives is transformed. This individual transformation works itself out in public ways that shape homes, churches, and communities. See Matthew 5:13-16

Disciple-Making

Disciple-making is the irrefutable responsibility of Jesus’ disciples. As we engage in groups, we encourage each other to grow in knowledge of and obedience to Jesus. See Matthew 28:18-20, Hebrews 10:24-25

Our Values

Rooted in Scripture

The Bible is both sacred and true. We must always come back to the inspired and authoritative Word of God, as that is our highest priority.

Focused on Christ

Only Jesus can produce transformation. Lifeway produces resources that point people to Jesus again and again, knowing that an encounter with the living Christ alone will ultimately bring real and lasting transformation.

Flexible for groups

All churches have the gospel in common, but their methods for making disciples vary. We strive to create Bible study content that is flexible enough to meet you where you are.

Empowering for leaders

Jesus never looked at a Bible study and said, “Go make disciples.” That’s the unique job given to those who follow Christ. We put the tools in the hands of group leaders that are simple and easy to use.

Crafted with purpose

We create systematic Bible studies designed to help people encounter the life-changing Word of God in a truly transformational way.
