Intentionally Following Jesus in Fellowship

Welcome to GoodTree’s Discipleship Life Groups where we intentionally follow Jesus as the Body of Christ. The church community is a vibrant fellowship that gathers with the purpose of loving God, loving others, and making disciples. In order to do so, we need to truly do life together. We encourage all congregants to get connected with a Discipleship Life Group to fully enter into the life of the church.

Why we gather in smaller groups?
Three Simple Reasons:
1. Personal

Personal: Foster opportunities for meaningful fellowship and intentional discipleship

Consistent: Offer consistent, personal, and authentic congregational care 

Study: Deeply engage in God’s Word through scripture: to study, share, and live out the gospel.  

2. Applicable

Spiritual: we are devoted to C.A.P.S. (care, accountability, prayer, scripture)

Communal: we strive for Christlikeness through fellowship (meaningful relationship) and discipleship (following the footsteps of Jesus)

Missional: we are outward and mission focused; we meet with the purpose of serving one another and others (locally and globally)

3. Purposeful

See: what God is doing around us, those around us, and the mission we’re called to.Matthew 9:35-38; Luke 10:25-37; Luke 7:36-50

Surrender: our heart, soul, strength, and will to Jesus and to submit to one another out of our love for Christ. Matthew 16:24-27; John 15:9-17; Matthew 22:34-40

Serve: Jesus by serving those around us in all the context we interact and inhabit. John 13:1-17; Matthew 25:31-46; Luke 9:1-6

New Curriculum for 2026

Crafting a Rule of Life

The D-groups are moving on to a new study! A book study to help develop a Rule of Life together.

It’s so good we would like everyone to participate. 
The best option for participation is to get connected to a D-group and study along people in the community. The second option is to just pick up the book and study on your own:
