Discipleship Groups

 Making Disciples of Jesus Christ


Discipleship is at the heart of Pittsford Community Church’s mission. Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:28-29).

In addition to church attendance, small groups provide a valuable setting for you to grow in discipleship. In a small group you’ll be able to grow in your understanding of God’s Word, build relationships with others, find support for your own spiritual journey, and develop a caring and serving network of friends. Pittsford Community Church offers a variety of discipleship groups to help you grow in your faith.

Discovery Groups provide an opportunity for those who want to explore the claims of Jesus Christ and the Bible in order to make an informed faith decision.

Foundation Groups will help you become established in the basic truths of the Bible.

Impact Groups are designed to challenge growing Christians to reach even deeper levels of spiritual maturity.

Praise and Ministry Groups offer a setting for you to develop ministry skills and participate in prayer and ministry with others.

How to Join a Discipleship Group

If you’re ready to move forward in your relationship with God, or simply want to explore a more meaningful relationship with God, take a look at the current discipleship groups described in this brochure. Call the group leader for details regarding times and places of meetings. We encourage you to try out one or more groups in order to find the right setting for your spiritual growth.

You may also want to call the church office at 248-8260 in order to find out if a new group is in the process of forming. In fact, you may want to initiate the start-up of a new group to help meet a specific need.


How to Become a Discipleship Group Leader

If you would like to consider leading a discipleship group, you may set up an appointment with a member of the pastoral staff. The pastors and other church leaders can help you develop the skills necessary for leading a group and identify potential members for your group. Or, if you are willing to open your home to host a discipleship group, contact the church office.
