What is a Delta Group?
Delta Groups are strategically small groups of three that help our church make a stronger commitment to growing together as disciples during the season of Lent. Our hope is that participants become better connected to one another within a small and simple format for discipleship that is designed to create an environment where growth and transformation can take place.
Why are they called Delta Groups?
The groups are called “Delta” groups for a few reasons. First, the Greek letter delta (𝚫) looks like a triangle, evoking both the 3 members of the group and also the Trinity — the presence of God in the midst of those gathered in His name. Second, as you may remember from your math or science classes, 𝚫 is used to denote a change in something. That is our prayer for Delta Groups — that as we follow Jesus together, he would work to change our hearts to be more like him.
What are we asking of you?
Our goal is to help our church make a stronger commitment to growing together as disciples during the season of Lent. We commit to spending time reading the Bible and praying because discipleship is first and foremost about listening and responding to Jesus. We meet in groups together because God calls us to discipleship together — for accountability, encouragement, and to practice His love.
