Discipleship Groups are similar to Small Groups but have an emphasis on spiritual growth. In a Discipleship Group, discipleship is deepened in a holistic way through spiritual formation. In the Christian tradition. Spiritual formation is all that forms us into the likeness of Christ.
Spiritual formation includes being shaped by God through inner practices of prayer, solitude, meditation, scripture reflection, journaling, and spiritual friendship; and outer practices of community, simplicity, generosity, healing, witnessing, and peacemaking. Jesus yielded himself to the rhythms of spiritual formation. Spirit flowed through him in compassionate acts of healing and justice because of his intimate, prayerful oneness with God. Members of a Discipleship Group support one another in learning and living this "life of the Beloved" shown by Jesus.
