Leading a group through our discipling pathways is an exciting opportunity to help others grow deeper in their faith. Each pathway serves as a step in their spiritual journey, providing clear, intentional guidance as they move from understanding foundational truths to living out their faith in daily life. As a leader, your role is to create a space where each person feels supported and challenged, helping them to embrace each step with confidence and purpose.

The three discipling pathways—D1, D2, & D3—are designed to foster spiritual growth through teaching, application, and transformation. As your group progresses, encourage open discussions, prayerful reflection, and practical steps for living out what they’re learning. By the end of the series, your group will not only have a deeper understanding of God’s Word but also be equipped to multiply and disciple others, fulfilling the mission of making disciples who make disciples.

Leading a City Group is a great starting point to beginning to help others trust in and live like Jesus. As a leader, you’ll have the opportunity to help guide individuals in practical, real-life areas while fostering a sense of unity and purpose in your group. Whether it’s learning financial stewardship, building strong relationships as men or women, or growing in faith together, your group will benefit from the shared experiences and growth. As a leader, you’ll be instrumental in creating a supportive atmosphere where people can freely discuss challenges, celebrate victories, and be equipped for spiritual and practical transformation.

Becoming an In-Step Leader is about stepping into a role where you actively listen, support, and guide individuals through life’s challenges. As an In-Step Leader, you’ll have the opportunity to walk alongside those who may feel stuck in certain areas of their lives—whether it’s in their faith, relationships, or personal struggles. Your role is to offer counsel, encouragement, and biblical wisdom, creating a safe space where people can be vulnerable and find practical steps toward breakthrough and healing.

This journey of leadership is rooted in walking "in-step" with others, not as an expert, but as someone who is genuinely committed to seeing people grow and move forward. By building trust and offering support, you can help individuals identify the root causes of their struggles, process emotions, and take steps toward spiritual and personal freedom. As an In-Step Leader, you are a catalyst for transformation, helping people regain their footing and find their purpose as they continue to walk out their journey with God.

Additional training is provided twice a year to assist you in your leadership journey.

Leading a ministry team offers a unique opportunity to serve and make a tangible impact in the life of the church.

As a leader, you’ll have the chance to work with passionate volunteers, coordinate efforts, and ensure that each ministry area is running smoothly, all while creating an environment where people can experience God’s love in powerful ways.

The opportunity to lead a ministry team also allows for personal growth as you develop leadership skills, collaborate with others, and support your team members. You’ll be challenged to think creatively, solve problems, and engage with the needs of the church and the community. Whether you're leading a team in the background or up front, your leadership can shape the way people experience the church, creating a welcoming and meaningful environment that fosters connection, worship, and spiritual growth.

Becoming a D3 missionary is a powerful way to further discipleship efforts at other campuses or campus starts. As a D3 missionary, you’ll have the opportunity to temporarily serve in a role where your primary focus is helping build and strengthen discipleship systems across multiple locations. Whether it’s leading small groups, mentoring new leaders, or training others to disciple effectively, you’ll be directly involved in creating a lasting impact on those campuses, helping them grow and multiply in faith.

This role also gives you a unique chance to be part of a larger movement, contributing to the vision of reaching new communities and expanding New City’s influence. By temporarily stepping into the missionary role, you can share your expertise, encourage local leaders, and help establish sustainable discipleship structures that will continue to bear fruit long after your time there. Your work as a D3 missionary not only strengthens individual campuses but also contributes to the growth of the entire church body, multiplying the impact of the gospel in new and exciting ways.

Planting a New City Neighborhood in your own neighborhood is an incredible way to live out your love for those around you and bring the gospel to your community. If you have a deep passion for your neighbors and a desire to see them experience the hope and transformation that comes through Christ, starting a New City Neighborhood can be a natural next step. By gathering people in your neighborhood to build relationships, share life, and grow in faith together, you create a space where the love of God can be tangibly experienced and shared.

This ministry can start small, with simple acts of kindness, prayer, and intentional connection. As a leader, you’ll have the opportunity to build trust and create a welcoming environment where neighbors feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether through regular gatherings, Bible studies, or service projects, planting a New City Neighborhood allows you to be a catalyst for change in your community, inviting others to experience the love of Christ in ways that are personal, practical, and transformative.
