Life Transformation Groups

The primary component for discipleship at Neighborhood Church is a Life Transformation Group (LTG). LTGs consist of three to four persons of the same gender. The group meets together for about an hour each week at a location and time that is convenient. These meeting places can be homes, coffee shops, restaurants, parks or anywhere else. Each member ensures that their LTGs are a safe environment that values confidentiality, vulnerability, truth, and grace.

Though each LTG can look different, all have the same DNA:  Discipleship, Nurture & Accountability.

Discipleship
Our desire is for the Bible to have a normative place in our lives.  Therefore, each week the group members will decide what they are going to read together during the week.  Some groups read large chunks of Scripture together, while others feel that it is better to chew slowly on smaller portions.  Either way, ask God before you read to speak to you through His truth. 

Nurture
We are called to nurture one another.  We learn each other’s stories, and in doing so, we begin to call out the good things that God is doing in each of us.  We pray for each other and, as Hebrews 10:24 teaches us, we “consider how to stir up one another love and good works.” 

Accountability
We recognize our brokenness due to sin, but we also recognize the fact that through the Gospel we are called to fight our sin.  We deceive ourselves, however, if we believe that we can go it alone.  As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, “he who is alone with his sins is utterly alone.”  We all need a safe, grace and truth-filled place where we can confess our sins to one another (James 5:16).


In order for this DNA to be present during our time together, we ask one another questions.  We have found it helpful to ask the following five questions to each other every week we get together:

The God Question – How is your walk with God going?  Have you been finding ways to connect with Him daily this week?

The Relationship Question – How are you doing when it comes to loving those closest to you?  Did you spend quality/quantity time with your spouse, kids, friends, family, etc?

The Sanctification Question – How are you doing when it comes to knowing and fighting your sin?  What sins are tripping you up?  How did you do fighting a specific sin this week?

The Mission Question – How did you do tangibly living out the Gospel this week?  Did you find ways to bless or serve a neighbor or co-worker?  Did you practice hospitality?  Were you intentional in finding opportunities to proclaim the Gospel?

The Devotion Question – What is one thing that you felt God saying to you through the Scripture reading this week?
