Semester 2

  • For the second semester, choose what to study from the list of resources listed below. We have both Bible studies and topical studies. Please talk with the Discipleship staff once you have decided what you would like to do.
  • If you had a break between the two semesters, schedule a time to catch up with each other before starting back.
  • Building off the weekly check-in, this semester you will incorporate a Heart Check, which is a more detailed way of checking in each week. Use the guide and form to create a new rhythm in your group.
  • Continue to schedule 2-3 social times during this second semester.
  • As the group builds trust, continue to model listening and vulnerability in hopes that group members do the same for each other.
  • Remember that group members may be thinking, "Is this truly a safe group for me to share?" and "Will I be shown grace in this group?". Model grace and care by "redressing" members when they share. Give back words: "thank you for sharing that with us" or "I know that wasn't easy for you to share so I appreciate you trusting us" or "I don't know what to say but I'm with you in this".
  • Continue scheduling a one-on-one with each group member throughout the year.
