While they can be similar, Small Gatherings are distinct from Discipleship Groups. Small Gatherings exists as a worship gathering opportunity for Northside. Small Gatherings meet in neighborhoods throughout the area and are centered around the weekly livestreamed service.
Discipleship Groups, on the other hand, are a discipleship strategy intended to be diverse groups that equip each person involved to be a disciple that makes disciples. Despite this distinction, there may be some overlap between the two, and that’s okay.
