    Ch. 1: Why Community Groups?

    God designed us in such a way that happiness is only real when it’s shared. We were made for community. Deep within us, there is a desire to belong to something bigger than ourselves. This desire is the driving motivation behind every club, team, social group, and even places we eat and buy groceries. But that desire is more than a mere social construct; it’s in our very DNA.

    Ch. 3: The Structure & Rhythms of Community Groups

    Frontline community groups gather in three regular rhythms—discipleship groups, family meals, and missional gatherings. Varied rhythms to match the rhythms of everyday life. Each rhythm has its own function and goal. Our hope is that through these three rhythms, we would see people come to know and trust Jesus in a deeper way.

    Ch. 5: Apprenticeship

    In our community groups, we take an apprenticeship approach to leadership development. This means we don’t just train new community group leaders in a classroom or on a screen. Rather, we ask each of our group leaders to take on an apprentice, in order to relationally pass on the knowledge they have acquired in their experience as a leader. In doing so, apprenticeship moves leadership out of theory and into reality. It is a form of development with dirt under its fingernails.

    Ch. 6: Multiplication

    Frontline exists to multiply gospel communities that love God, love people, and push back darkness. Through multiplication, we are able to better make disciples, care for others, and advance the kingdom. We multiply so that we can proclaim the gospel and demonstrate the kingdom to more people who desperately need it. We don’t aim to multiply as an end in itself. In other words, our goal is not to launch as many groups as possible. Rather, our community groups multiply for discipleship, care, and mission. If we are to form and sustain healthy groups, multiplication will play a crucial and necessary role.
