Groups
WHY WE GROUP:
God never intended for us to follow Jesus alone. He calls us into a family where we know one another, grow in faith, and help each other follow Christ. At Doxa, Connection Groups bring people together who commit to gospel community, mutual accountability, and investing in one another’s lives. We don’t just gather to study God’s Word. We share our lives so that we can grow together in our walk with Christ.
WHO WE GROUP WITH:
God designed His church as one body with many unique members. Doxa connection groups are comprised of people with different gifts, experiences, and perspectives that strengthen the whole body. That’s why our groups bring together people of different ages, backgrounds, and seasons of life. We believe every member has something to contribute and something to learn. As we share our lives, we grow in love for one another and learn to encourage, serve, and value those whose lives look different from our own. Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, we invite you to join other committed Doxa members and attenders as we grow together in your knowledge of Christ and love for one another.
HOW WE GROW TOGETHER:
Gospel community calls us to invite others into our lives and commit to their spiritual good. In groups, we open our homes, share meals, study Scripture, confess sin, pray together, and bear one another’s burdens. We invite others to encourage and hold us accountable, and we commit to doing the same for them. As we share our lives, we grow in love for Christ and for one another.
WHAT WE DO IN GROUPS:
We have six marks of a disciple at Doxa that shape how we see the rhythms of a group: Worshiper, Becomer, Investor, Lover, Inviter, Neighbor.
We practice rhythms in three directions:
Up - Bible - We make understanding and applying God’s Word the regular diet of groups. Without God’s Word, this is just another social club. This helps us practice being Worshipers and Becomers.
In - Bread - We eat a meal together every week at group. This is a great time to get to know each other’s lives, stories, and burdens. This helps us practice being Investors and Lovers.
Out - Outs - We regularly plan times for the group to invite non-Christians in our lives to experience Gospel community before they hear Gospel proclamation. This helps us practice being Inviters and Neighbors.
HOW DO I GET IN A GROUP?:
If you’d like help getting into a connection group, men’s group, or women’s group, first fill out the form below.
You’ll be emailed by someone from the groups team to set up lunch or coffee. We’d love to meet you, hear more about your life, faith background, what you’re looking for in a group, and give you a chance to talk through what groups look like at Doxa.
From there, the groups team meets weekly to help place people based on availability, location, and fit.
Once we find a group that may be a fit, we’ll pass your information along to those group leaders to connect with you.
