Discipleship Groups

Vision - Together, that every member would grow in their knowledge of God so as to walk in a manner worthy of Him.

Goal - Together, through men’s and women’s discipleship groups, we seek to create and foster a culture of:

Knowing, following, and enjoying God together.
Increasing biblical literacy and raising up bible teachers.
Advancing the gospel through evangelism, discipleship, and holiness.
Discipling by deliberately doing spiritual good to one another.
Seeing God’s glory made known to the heavens.

Discipleship is an important process for every believer. One major element of an individual's following Jesus is helping others follow Jesus. At Fairview, we count it crucial that everyone matures to the stature measured by Christ (Eph. 4:12-16). Thus, discipleship groups provides intimate friendships, an environment of accountability, and most importantly, it cultivates a life rooted deeply in God’s Word. See our vision of Discpleship and Discipling here at Fairview.

Discipleship Groups are gender-specific groups of 3-5 Christians that meet regularly for 16 weeks each semester to study Scripture and grow in spiritual maturity. These groups have a designated leader to facilitate, initiate, and model discipling. Additionally, groups will use the COMA Method to study the Scriptures. To learn more, check out the Discipleship Group Guide and Overview below.

First, pray for 2-4 people that you can invest in over the next year. Second, Life Groups are the most natural “fishing ponds” for discipleship groups. As people form friendships and bonds in Life Groups, handfuls of them will begin discipling one another toward maturity in Christ.

While some discipleship groups form through pre-existing relationships with other believers in environments like Life Group, we would also encourage you to make yourself known and invest in other relationships in the congregation. So, don’t limit yourself to your Life Group. There are other relationships within the congregation which present a rich opportunity to form a discipleship group.

If you are currently in a Life Group and desire to be in a discipleship group, simply make yourself known to some of the members in the group, or talk to your Life Group leader, men/women ministry leader, or Pastor Joseph.
