DNA groups are intentional small groups that grow in friendship with Christ and friendship with one another. Each DNA group, first and foremost, is a simple gathering of people who share one concern; they want more in life than what they are currently experiencing. If that’s you, then you should be in a DNA group. These groups are designed to be a place where you can be you: simple, authentic, honest, you.
At each DNA group gathering, there will be a topic and some open ended discussion questions that will help each participant explore how to live life in deeper friendship with Jesus and in deeper friendship with others. The goal is to get to know one another deeper as we all journey in life together towards God.
A DNA group gathering usually lasts between an hour to an hour and a half.
Each DNA group takes on a life of its own. It is ongoing in nature, just like all the other relationships in your life. There are natural peaks and valleys in every relationship that we have, and we like to think of a DNA group as having those same peaks and valleys. Once a group starts, we hope that it never ends!
DNA groups are designed to be organic and molded to the demands of the participants. Generally, DNA groups consist of people from the same affinities and stages of life. Parents with little kids might not have the bandwidth to meet as often as empty nesters, or singles, or college kids. In principle, each DNA group should meet at least once a month, but can meet as often as every week. The intentions are the same regardless of how often you meet: to grow in deeper friendship with Jesus, to grow in deeper friendship with others, and to invite others along for the ride.
