what is a dna group?
The term “DNA group” refers to a group - men with men, women with women - who meet together bi-weekly. DNA Groups provide a structure for us to care deeply for one another and to foster growth as disciples of Jesus. DNA is an acronym that reminds of us three key components of discipleship: Discover, Nurture, and Act. The goal is to help one another to discover Jesus in the Scriptures, nurture the truths of the gospel in our hearts, and faithfully act on what the Spirit calls us to do.

Led by the Holy Spirit, the group will…See Jesus Together by asking these 4 Questions:
WHO IS GOD? What do these verses tell me is true of God’s character and being?
WHAT HAS HE DONE? What do these verses tell me is true of God’s activity, work, and promises-especially through the life, death, resurrection, and reign of Jesus?
WHO ARE WE? What do these verses tell me is true of mankind, and thus myself-positive or negative?
HOW THEN SHOULD WE LIVE? What might God, though His Spirit, be leading us/me to do?
