Discipleship Groups
Small groups gathering weekly to grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, & follow Jesus together.
Knowing Him
Deeper
We believe every follower of Jesus is called not only to be a disciple, but to make disciples. Through scripture, prayer and intentional relationships we can pursue a live of faith to become more like Jesus together. Our discipleship groups are where this gets lived out.

Discipleship Groups (or “DGs” as we sometimes call them) are where the third step of our integrated Bible study happens. Discipleship Groups are gender-specific groups of 3-5 people that meet weekly to encourage and exhort one another to grow in spiritual maturity and live out our faith. We’ve studied the weekly Bible passage individually; we’ve listened to the teaching of that passage in the Sunday sermon; now we discuss what obedience to that passage looks like practically. Discussion questions and prayer prompts are provided each week to help guide this time.

Discipleship Groups meet at different times of the week all over the Westside! Groups coordinate logistics among themselves. We’ll help you join a group that generally aligns with your schedule. We ask all Discipleship Group members to be flexible with the times and locations where they can meet.
Integrated
Bible Study
We believe that as we consistently engage the word of God together in community, seeking to apply it to our lives, we will grow as a result, with the help of the Holy Spirit. At Collective, we engage scripture in three ways:
-
The first way we engage scripture is through personal study, where we take it upon ourselves to explore the passage on our own and consider its application to our lives. We do this in advance of our Sunday gathering where the same passage we've been studying will be the basis of the talk.
-
The second way we engage scripture is on Sunday through the sermon where the Word of God is preached. The pastor will build upon the foundation laid by our personal study and help provide a theological framework for understanding the passage so that we can know more about God and His plan for us.
-
The third way we engage scripture is in a Discipleship Group where we work through how to apply God's truth to our lives. These are gender-specific groups of two to five people that provide a relational context where the combination of personal study and the preaching from the previous Sunday fuel discussion about what God has been revealing to us on a personal level.
Discussion questions and prayer prompts are provided each week to help guide this time.
