Discipleship Groups at Restoration

Through our Discipleship Group ministry, men and women at Restoration will have the opportunity to grow together as followers of Christ. Beginning each fall, group members make a one-year commitment to meet regularly in groups of 3-5 women or men. Our desire is that these groups would foster greater dependence on God’s Word, the Holy Spirit, and one another as we embody and extend the Gospel together.

Discussion guides will be provided and will include study and reflection on a passage of Scripture, exploration of various aspects of Christian growth and maturity, connections to daily life, and prompts for prayer. While the overall structure will remain consistent, content will differ slightly for groups in their second year together. Some discussions will require 30 minutes or less of individual preparation or follow-up, but aside from that no homework is required.

DGs meet every other week beginning in September. The suggested 2025-2026 schedule is available here:  https://bit.ly/DGschedule2526 (note that dates are based on the standard Wednesday meeting time, but groups are free to determine the regular meeting day/time that works best for them).

In order to foster trust, growth, and accountability in our DGs, we ask that all participants sign the Discipleship Group Covenant. This Covenant will be discussed and signed during your first group meeting, but we ask that you read and consider it before signing up: https://bit.ly/DGcovenant2526

If you have questions or concerns about joining a DG, or want to talk through any potential obstacles to involvement, please contact Jenilyn (jenilyn@restorationcommunity.net) or Pastor Jon (jon@restorationcommunity.net)
