What is Small Group Discipleship?
When Jesus established the Church 2000 years ago, He did not do so by running flashy large scale events. Rather, He called a small group of disciples who He spent 3 years mentoring, teaching, and empowering to ultimately carry on His mission through the Church. Discipleship today isn't any different.  Small group discipleship is a way to approach youth ministry that goes beyond the typical youth group model through a process of mentoring, apprenticeship, and accompaniment - a process of discipleship!
