Focused Discipleship

At Church at the Gates we have several different types of groups you can join, each that seek to meet a specific need in discipleship. We believe that to be a disciple means to be in Christian community, to grow in knowledge of the Bible and Christian Belief, and to be formed by these things into Christlikeness.

If you don't know where to start, check out the questions below to see where you might be at in your discipleship journey and what you need or reach out through our contact us form.

Missional Communities

Missional Communities are co-ed groups of about 15 people. These groups are open all semester, and focus on sermon studies of our current series. They often fellowship over food, and spend time investing in relationships. This is a perfect place to get to know more people in the church and get a better understanding of the Sunday topics!

Discipleship Groups

Discipleship groups are often smaller and are groups for either men or women. These groups meet regularly and are about being known deeply by others. These groups are built on the idea that change happens when we are known, loved, given grace, and pointed towards Jesus. While these groups may study a book of the bible or another resource their aim is not merely topical but relational. If you are looking for encouragement, accountability, grace, and discipleship, then D-Groups are for you.

Equipping Classes

Equipping classes are groups that focus on teaching specific topics and dive in deep. At CATG our Equipping Classes focus primarily on growing in our understanding of God's Word (Bible literacy and story) or growing in our understanding of Christian Beliefs (Theology). These groups are all about growing our love for God through his Word. These groups have a start and end date, they require active participation and weekly homework. We strive to make these classes accessible to all, whether you are a new Christian or have been following Jesus a long time you will gain something meaningful from our Equipping Classes. These are a great place to grow in your knowledge of God’s Word.
