How to Launch a Discipleship Group
We are not meant to do life alone. We are made for relationships that intentionally partner in God’s work of redemption in one another's lives. Therefore, we have groups designed to provide relationships that encourage us to keep going, support us when we’re down, celebrate the big and small wins, and remind us of what is most important (Col. 3:12-17).
Looking for a group of partners you can embark with on the journey of discipleship? Join on our 'How to Launch a Discipleship Group' event on Sunday, May 19th after service at 10:15 AM to learn more about Discipleship Groups at Anthem and how to get involved.
