Pathways
Lead Your First Discovery Group
From the story you already have to confidently facilitating a group of your own — one class, one study, one step at a time.
You don’t need a seminary degree to lead people into the Word — you need a simple method, a little practice, and the courage to start. This pathway takes you from having something true to say about Jesus, through learning the Discovery Bible Study cycle and actually running studies with real people, to facilitating in a way that helps a group discover and obey for themselves.
It begins before the method, on purpose. A study needs somebody in it, and the first class gives you a short testimony you can say to anyone — which is how most people find the person they end up reading with.
Work through it in order: each class prepares you for the study plan that follows, and each study plan gives you real practice before the next class builds on it.
