Discipleship Groups (The Journey)
The Journey is a tool that will provide participants with real, meaningful, life-change through something called life-on-life missional discipleship. Life-on-Life missional discipleship is a process for transferring spiritual life from one person (a Journey group leader) to another (a Journey group member) in the context of small groups of 5-8 people (a Journey group). Life-on-Life missional discipleship is:
- Having a suitable life – a mature and equipped follower of Christ
- Being intentional about imparting that life to others – the Journey group leader is making a commitment to each member that she/he will invest his/her life into yours, that has your spiritual growth as the focus
- Spending enough time doing the right things to impart life so that the recipient will learn to impart it as well – Journey groups meet weekly for 9 months, members sign a contract and the end goal is that all Journey group members will learn how, and be motivated to
impart their life product as well.
