Small groups of 3-4 men or 3-4 women working together toward a deeper understanding of and connection with Jesus.  

Teaching and learning within intentional relationships modeled after Jesus and his disciples.  

A working study utilizing the book, “Discipleship Essentials: A Guide to Building Your Life in Christ,” by Greg Ogden. This curriculum covers 29 different topics. Here are just a few examples of what you'll be discovering:

• Knowing Christ - through Bible study, prayer and worship

• Understanding Christ - by digging into what the Bible says about the Triune God, sin, grace and redemption

• Becoming like Christ - by the Holy Spirit and embodying His love

• Serving Christ - by walking in obedience 

Groups meet 2-4 times per month, for 12-18 months while working through the book.  You can expect 1-2 hours each week of personal preparation time for your meetings.  Meetings typically last about 1-2 hours.  Yes, this is a commitment!  But remember….it's worth the cost to follow Jesus!

Everyone at Lakeside! Old and New!  If you are a new follower of Jesus, this is the perfect place to start growing your faith in Christ and learning what it means to follow Jesus.  

Even if you’ve been following Jesus for 20 years, we would encourage you to participate in a discipleship group.  You will deepen your faith and strengthen your relationship with God.  You will also be better equipped to go and make more disciples of Jesus.    

We are called to be disciples and to make disciples.  The Great Commision in Matthew 28:19 tells us, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…”

We aren't meant to learn about God on our own.  By being in a discipleship group you'll have structure and accountability.

You'll grow in the knowledge of God and apply spiritual disciplines which will help you develop spiritual maturity and become more Christ-like.

The natural result of the growth you'll experience is that the kingdom of God will multiply as you make more disciples.
