Discipleship Bands facilitates deep, meaningful growth.
A band consists of 3-5 men or women in which you "do life" with. You will read together, pray together, and meet together to become the love of God for one another and the world. |
During the Great Awakening of the 18th century, John Wesley famously quipped that justifying grace is only the door to salvation, while sanctification the house. The key to the spiritual revival in England and America was the organization of Christians into various small groups, then called select societies, class meetings, and bands. The purpose of each was to pursue holiness together. These structures allowed for mutual accountability, where spiritual friends were confessing sin without fear of condemnation.
John Wesley once famously said, “There is no holiness apart from social holiness.” Over the years, many have mistakenly asserted that he was talking about social justice. In reality, he was talking about doing discipleship in the context of real relationships. In essence, you can’t become a real Christian alone.

These bands will meet once a week or every other week depending on the group’s schedule. Each group will determine their schedule. Some will meet in person, some might meet long distance through technology or in the case you are a person who travels for work you can do some in person & some long distance. The options are endless so there is no excuse not to join!
The Daily Accountability of Living Life Together
We aren’t forever doomed to small group experiences marked by awkward silences and Jesus-y answers. There’s another way. A way that lets your group members share both their struggles and wisdom with you in real time. A way that lets you have access to not only meaningful, Biblical content, but also the daily relationship and accountability to help you apply it to your day-to-day life. |
Daily Discipleship Content
It’s not for a lack of content that people get stalled in their discipleship, nor is it for a lack of small groups. What’s missing are resources that lead people into the depths of the gospel and that facilitate the kinds of conversations that effect powerful growth. |
