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 Discipleship and Discipling here at Fairview.

Discipleship Groups are gender-specific groups of 1-on-1 or 3-5 believers who meet together regularly for the purpose of growing in spiritual maturity. To learn more, check out the Discipleship Group Overview here. Most discipleship groups form through pre-existing, meaningful relationships with other believers in environments like Life Group.

If you want to join a Discipleship Group but don’t know where to start, simply talk with your Life Group leader or a pastor. If you already have 2-4 friends who want to start a Discipleship Group, just start meeting together. The Discipleship Group Guide will help you through your first few meetings as you establish a commitment to reading and memorizing God’s Word, prayer, and accountability. You can find that guide here.
