Discipleship Groups

Are you someone who's looking for something a bit more high-commitment when it comes to your spiritual life?

If so, why not consider a LTG?

A Life Transformation Group (LTG) is a highly intentional, micro-discipleship model consisting of two or three people of the same gender who meet weekly for focused spiritual formation. Each gathering is simple and structured around three core practices: honest accountability, engagement with Scripture, and prayer for one another and for those not yet following Jesus.

There is typically no formal leader or curriculum with the emphasis being on relational depth, consistency, and responsiveness to God’s Word rather than teaching content.

LTGs are designed to embody high-commitment discipleship by requiring regular participation, vulnerability, and personal spiritual discipline between meetings. Their small size removes anonymity and creates a context where transformation occurs. Because they are simple and reproducible, LTGs also support a multiplication mindset: as individuals grow, they can form new groups with others. A group will never have more than three members. When a LTG grows to four members, after an initial four-week period it splits into two newgroups.

This all means that LTGs function less like traditional church programs and more like a grassroots discipleship engine, fostering intentional, accountable, and mission-oriented spiritual growth.
