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.
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.
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)
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
t’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since we began this intentional journey of discipleship together as a church family. Over the past year, in your individual life groups and as a broader community, we’ve got a taste of what it truly means to follow the way of Jesus. And as you’ve likely discovered, this journey is not always easy or straightforward.
It’s a wild ride, full of highs and lows, sometimes bumpy, sometimes delightful. But
through it all, the Lord has been with you... through the Holy Spirit and your community of fellow believers. My prayer is that this second year in your D-Groups will draw you even closer to one another and deepen your relationship with Christ...
