D Groups

(Discipleship Groups)
The purpose of the D Group ministry at Frontline Community Church is to provide group settings where people can feel they belong, and learn to love God, follow Christ, and love others through:

Bible Study: Reading and reflecting on scripture. This has been identified as the number one catalyst for spiritual formation and growth. An in-depth study, discussion, and application of God’s word allows the Holy Spirit to mold hearts and group life.

Environments that are Emotional Safe Havens Where individuals can process issues they are facing, as well as an atmosphere that is trusting enough to safely admit shortcomings and mistakes. The “belong before you believe” value presents a non-judgmental, listen lots but speak little support that allows the Holy Spirit to work through issues. 

Lasting Friendships: Time is needed to build authentic relationships. Community is developed through shared meals, fun, shared crisis, extended family gatherings, and spontaneous discussions. Natural mentor relationships develop over time. 

Others Focused Service: Equipping group members to serve, utilizing God-given gifts and talents and developing apprentice leaders through group-life are natural ways to build and strengthen God’s kingdom in the local church, the community, and the world. Serving together helps people grow spiritually and builds authentic community. 

Nurturing Accountability to each other to become disciples and, together, to grow more like Christ. Pray with and for each other.

Group Multiplication and Evangelism by following the kingdom mustard seed principle that our lives should draw others to God. The goal of each group should be to grow as God sends individuals into our lives. As the group grows, it should naturally multiply so that Jesus’ example of small group discipleship can continue.
