God designed us to live in His family, not in isolation. Groups are the way we make a big place feel smaller so that we can develop meaningful relationships. AT MBC Montgomery County we have two kind of groups – Community groups and Discipleship groups.
Community groups are groups that help you learn and grow with others in biblical community. A Community group typically ranges in size from 30-90 people and meets regularly for the purpose of fellowship, connection and spiritual growth. Some, but not all, of these groups are organized by specific demographics and affinities. If you’re interested in attending any of these groups, you can feel free to just stop by or reach out to the contact person listed for more information. All groups meet onsite at MBC Montgomery County.

The Discipleship Cohort
This is our 10-month intensive discipleship training program. We accept about 50 applicants each year and train you to understand Bible-based theology, Bible-based spiritual growth, and Bible-based ministry. We also commit to caring for one another, helping each other grow, and making disciples together. Details for the next MoCo Discipleship Cohort will be announced in Summer 2019.

Discipleship groups are aimed at helping every member do three things: care for one another like a family, grow to become more like Jesus, and make disciples locally and globally. They are typically smaller in size with about 10-25 people, and meet on a regular basis in homes. We ask everyone to go through Front Door before joining a Discipleship group.
Meeting Remotely
We are encouraging groups across our church to consider alternate means for staying as biblically and closely connected to one another as possible during this time. Go HERE for more detailed recommendations and resources for groups.
