All sessions will be facilitated by Everett Fritz, a nationally acclaimed youth speaker and author of the book The Art of Forming Young Disciples. All sessions will take place virtually on Zoom.
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!
