Your Discipleship Pathway
Your Discipleship Begins Here: School of Ministry & Connect Group Ministry. The School of Ministry (SOM) and Connect Groups are fully integrated into the life of Destiny Church as a vital means of your ongoing discipleship. SOM provides structured teaching, practical application, and spiritual growth opportunities for all who participate. Connect Groups are where we do real life together, in person (“knee to knee”), for real, relevant, relationships. Both ministries are highly encouraged and available to everyone.

About Connect Groups
Jesus said this, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.”
We are not asking you to lay your life down for your fellow Connect Group members, but we do encourage you to join a small group gathering (we call Connect Groups). This is where you connect with real people, having relevant discussions that lead to strong, long lasting relationships.
The weekly topic of discussion is usually the previous week’s sermon. There is fellowship (sometimes food) and always laughter prayer, discipleship and connection. Here is where you can get more information and let us know you are interested in finding a Connect to try out and perhaps joining here.

SOM feels less like a classroom at school and more like a community—a family of believers growing together in Christ. Discipleship at its finest.
SOM, in partnership with our weekly Connect Groups, ignites a dynamic path of spiritual growth. Together, they form the heartbeat of discipleship and Destiny Church for your lifelong journey of knowing Christ.

What about Other Midweek Activities at Destiny?
Destiny Church also offers a wide variety of midweek activities open to everyone, members and nonmembers alike. These general activities happen for children, youth, and adults. They provide fellowship, fun, and some spiritual enrichment; however, they are not intended to replace the deeper discipleship and transformation that comes through your participation in Connect Groups and the School of Ministry.
