GROUP COMMITMENTS

These same-sex groups will consist of 3 people, including the leader. Each member will commit to the following:

Spending 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, with the Lord in reading the Word and writing down reflections
Meeting with the group for one hour a week to share reflections, keep each other accountable, and pray for one another.
These 2 commitments are agreed upon for a certain time frame, ideally for one year.

Such commitments will ensure that each of us grow in faith and knowledge along with developing Christ-centered friendships rooted in vulnerability and accountability.

FORMING A GROUP

You can join a group in a couple of ways:

1. By your own initiative- forming a group of 3 people, with 1 serving as a designated leader. Please let the pastors know that you are starting a group by emailing the info to pastors@nmp.church.
2. By signing up here. The pastors will then assign you to a group. The first round of signups will take place through January 10, 2021.

The session (NMPC pastors and elders) will also check-in with the leaders to make sure that they are supported and equipped with any resources necessary (i.e. tools to better understand a specific Bible book).

ROLE OF THE LEADER

Delta Groups are meant to be a place where all three members grow together by encouraging and challenging one another in their weekly meetings. Therefore, the main role of the leader is to facilitate by setting up meeting times/places and initiating the times of sharing. The leader does not need a certain level of Bible knowledge or require any specific training.

WHY DELTA?

Delta is the Greek letter that represents ‘change’ or ‘difference’ (you may remember using it in your high school math class). It is our earnest desire to see each of us change and become more like Jesus through these groups.

The letter is also shaped like a triangle, which evokes our Triune God (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit). The triangle, of course, also represents the three people who will form each Delta Group!
