The Four Gatherings of Our Best Story

small group meeting

X-Groups

Small closed groups of 3-6 meeting to have spiritual conversations and grow together. This is where we provide a space for people to explore spirituality and come to know Jesus at their own pace. Leaders are trained to ask great questions and tell relevant stories that lead to faith.

Discipling Communities

Open groups of up to 30 meeting for three purposes – Spending Time Together, Growing in Faith Together, and Sharing in Common Mission together. We grow by studying scripture. A common mission could be specific, like rescuing trafficked women, or general, like helping each other parent well.

Xcellerate Groups

A closed group meeting one semester at a time to learn how to make disciple-makers by sharing spiritual conversations and napkin drawings called icons. Xcellerators become X-group and Discipling Community leaders and catalyze the multiplication of the movement. These groups usually meet for 2-3 semesters before they are launched to multiply.

Inspiration and Retreat Gatherings

These less regular gatherings are designed so leaders don’t feel alone in their efforts. Corporate worship, training and retreat are three components of these gatherings.
