Discipleship Groups
GCF Discipleship groups are designed to train Christians in the various skills of Christian living and the specific theology and values of GCF. Each gender-specific group consists of 3-6 people, and meets two to three times a month from early September through May. Although the curriculum takes four years to complete, we only ask participants to commit to one year at a time.
*We offer community groups as well as discipleship groups. Above are some of the differences and similarities.
During the 2025-26 school year, we will cover the “Green Year.”
The books for the Green Year are listed below and will be available for purchase this summer and fall. Small changes may be made to the reading list as we get closer to when groups start.
