A Microgroup is a group of 3-4 gender specific individuals that meet for a year to a year and a half. The members of these groups are committed to growing spiritually together using Greg Ogden’s Essential Guide to Becoming a Disciple, Discipleship Essentials, or The Essential Commandment.
The Microgroup is the container or context for a highly relational setting that creates the environment for accelerated growth. The reason growth is accelerated in this smaller units is profoundly simple. It has to do with personal investment. When people commit themselves to study Scripture, record their own insights, and then come together to verbalize their discoveries, they are getting God’s Word into their life.
These insights are shared in a trust-based community. This means that biblical truth through the Holy Spirit is creating self-awareness and shaping character. Participants have realigned their lives for the purpose of becoming mature, reproducing disciples of Jesus.
