Small Discipleship Groups are transformative microcommunities where teens can be authentic, dive deep, and get the support they need on their discipleship journey. The focus isn't on what is known, but who is known and followed (hint: Jesus). D-groups are about encouragement, mentorship, and community while navigating faith and life as a teen.
Small Discipleship Groups (or D-Groups) consist of groups of 5-8 high school students that meet with a Mentor, two or three times a month - each group sets their schedule. It offers the flexibility to meet the needs of our busy teens, allowing each small group to choose the meeting day, time and place* that works best for the group. After an initial four week introduction series, the groups will also have the option to select which topics or themes they want to discuss next and even what format they want to proceed with, always within the context of our Catholic faith
The small group concept is a key element in connecting you to your faith and church community. It allows the group members to foster a sense of belonging and community, with a positive adult to role model the faith in a relaxed setting. In addition to the small group meetings, there would also be occasional gatherings of all the small groups together for Social Nights, Service Projects, etc.
*Covid-19 Note: we are following local guidelines regarding meetings and will be able to still have groups safely connect. Our groups are not on hold.
