We are a church of small groups,
not a church with small groups.

Think Small to Grow Big

Jesus taught thousands but invested deeply in twelve men, giving us the perfect formula for taking the gospel to the whole world. Small groups at North Boulevard help us develop life-changing relationships.

There are two types of small groups:

LIFEgroups and Discovery Groups (Dgroups)

Praying For Our Community

On Sunday, November 5, our church will be going into the surrounding community to pray for schools, government officials, first responders, neighborhoods, businesses, nonprofits, and other churches.

The Life Blood of the Church

Each of us has a need to be known by others, and each of us must truly know others if we are to love them with the love of Christ. That's why being in a small group is an essential part of maturing as a Disciple at North Boulevard.

SERVE LIKE A LEADER

Want to make disciples and help change the world?
Here’s what it takes to lead a LIFEgroup:

I'M WILLING TO SERVE

Prayerfully consider if God is calling you to step up.

Pray daily for your group and connect throughout the week

Plan meetings, fun activities, and service projects

Invite your group to join you for church gatherings and events

Partner with a co-leader and delegate tasks to share the load

Facilitate discussions and help keep meetings on time

Rally everyone around a brother or sister who needs support

What do Dgroups do?

Dgroups follow the same relational-rhythms that Jesus modeled to and with His own disciples such as:

Learning the Word through teaching and study
Prayer and fasting
Serving those in need
Reinforcing Multiplication by training group members to eventually lead a new group themselves

Start a Dgroup

Since Dgroups help to ignite a fire for disciple-making, the decision to start a group is important.

Pray before you start. Ask God to open doors for spiritual conversations with those who should join this group.
Look for people who want to meet, have time to meet, and are open to God’s Word.
Do life-on-life. Practice the relational-rhythms of Jesus (Scripture, Prayer, Fasting, Serving, and Disciple-making)
