What do Discipleship Group meetings look like?

For the first several meetings when launching your Discipleship Group, check out our Discipleship Group Starter Guide. Once you have established your Discipleship Group, the outline below will give you a good guide for your meeting structure.

Sample Discipleship Group Meeting Structure

Here are some elements your weekly meetings can include:

Fellowship: 10 Minutes

Spend the first ten minutes catching up. If you want, you can be more structured during this time and have each person share their “high” and “low” of the week.

Scripture Memory: 5 - 10 Minutes

After everyone quotes the week’s memory verse, ask, “As you meditated on this verse, what stood out to you?” We want to hide God’s Word in our heart, not just be able to recite it.

Bible Reading and HEAR Journals: 25 - 35 Minutes

As you share HEAR Journals, a great question to ask is, “Which of your HEAR Journals stood out the most this week and what are you doing about it?”

Accountability: 10 - 25 Minutes

In addition to our HEAR Journal question, choose a few accountability questions from page 22 of the Discipleship Starter Guide to discuss with your group.

Prayer:

Finish the time by having each person share something specific and personal the group can pray for.
