What is a Discipleship Group?
Discipleship Groups are designed to help you grow in your faith through Bible study and faith based discussion with others on the same journey. They meet on a regular basis and are a welcoming place for anyone looking for genuine community.
With hundreds of Discipleship Groups that meet across both Auckland and Tauranga - you are sure to find a Group that is perfect for you. Whether you’re looking for a group based on age, men’s and women’s groups or even family and business focused groups, there’s something for everyone! Groups meet at different times throughout the week, with some evening and some others over breakfast!

What is it like to be in a Discipleship Group?

Bruno
I don’t feel judged, I feel I’m among genuine men, not pretenders. People share about their everyday day wins and struggles. While we seek God’s guidance and his will and plan for our lives. It’s a highlight for me every fortnight.
Anna
I love group, because it’s a great way to connect with other young adults, mid-week, when life is happening, works busy and you just want to have some good, genuine conversations and laughs, with a great group of people! It’s been awesome getting involved in group and I’ve really enjoyed the discussions we’ve had about Jesus and the Bible.
Brigitta
What I enjoy about being part of our Business Group is everyone is willing to help each other. The diversity in the group makes it entertaining. We have trust in each other and everyone can share their stories and successes. I like that everyone is respectful and willing to help you succeed.
Rosana
We have gone through so many studies since the start of this Group. One of my favourites is the “Armor of God” by Priscilla Shirer. Group has not only helped me learn more about the Bible and grow in my relationship with Jesus but it’s also kept me going, knowing that there’s a group of God fearing women I can confidently turn to for prayers when I hit various obstacles in life. The cool thing is God has always come through every single time I hit up my ladies for prayers.

For me, Discipleship Groups are the ideal place to build closer connections which in turn follows onto a more personal exchange. This allows me to be supportive in difficult situations as well as being supported when there is need in my life. No doubt I love the social connection, as well and just having fun with like-minded people. I would highly recommend getting involved.
