What Is a MicroGroup?
A relational, reproducible path to Christlikeness—Global Discipleship Initiative (globaldi.org)
|
|
What Is a MicroGroup? A small, intentional community of 3–4 believers of the
same gender who commit to walk together in spiritual growth. The primary
context where transformation and multiplication occur that is relational, not
program-driven. |
The Three Foundations
|
1.
Relational
Environment The "hot house" of the Holy
Spirit • Open hearts in transparent trust. • Engage deeply with Scripture and with each other. • Practice mutual life-change accountability—not
just completing assignments. Relationship is the heart. |
2.
Intentional
Leadership Peer-oriented, not hierarchical • Prayerfully discern and invite participants. • Share the covenant and set meeting rhythms. • Guide the early sessions. • Rotate leadership so every member grows in facilitating. Initiate, then multiply leaders. |
3.
Reproducible
Process A map for the journey • Use a transferable, Bible-based curriculum (Discipleship
Essentials) as the map. • Engage members in Scripture, reflection, and
application. • Equip members to start new groups when the
current one finishes. Transferable. Teachable. Scalable. |
Why MicroGroups Work (vs. one-on-one)
|
✓ Less hierarchy Mutual
participation replaces the teacher-student dynamic. |
✓ Richer exchange Multiple
perspectives create dynamic wisdom and dialogue. |
✓ Real reproduction Members are
empowered to launch and lead new groups. |
“Invest deeply in a few, so they, in turn, invest in others.”
Love of God and love for others is our primary motivation as we come alongside others. Each of us—not just pastors, not merely priests, not only leaders—but ALL who believe in their heart in Christ Jesus are disciples. We all are to become disciplemakers. GDI is for everyone who calls themselves Christian. Our calling: Be disciples (Christ-followers) in practice.
