Discipleship Bands

How do I get started?

1) INVITE BANDMATES & CHOOSE A TIME AND PLACE

Prayerfully invite others to join you in banding together. Once you have 3-4 people ready to take this step, choose a time and place that works best for your life rhythm.

2) DOWNLOAD THE “DISCIPLESHIP BANDS” APP

This free tool can help provide a framework for your band meetings and equip you to make the most of your time together. One group member can create a band in the app and invite the others to join via an invite code. It’s available in the App Store and on Google Play.

3) BEGIN WITH “INTRODUCTION TO DISCIPLESHIP BANDS”

Within the app you’ll find an area called “Studies”. We encourage each group to begin their band by doing the 28 day reading plan, “Introduction To Discipleship Bands”. It will walk you through everything you need for your band to start strong! 

4) USE THE “FIRST FOUR MEETINGS” FRAMEWORK

There’s a great resource from our friends at Seedbed called Discipleship Bands, A Practical Field Guide. On pages 35-37 of this guide you’ll find a simple framework to follow for your first four meetings as everyone settles in to this new space together. You can download it here now.

5) GET STARTED

And now, you just do it! Begin meeting, and then keep going. Read together. Pray Together. Meet together. And here’s a helpful video from our friends at Seedbed with some encouragement on how to begin.
