Disciples making disciples

Following Jesus
is a shared journey.

Come→Connect→Grow→Serve→Go

Jesus taught His disciples in a small group. At Wrightsboro Baptist Church, we follow His example through D-Groups: small communities committed to Scripture, prayer, accountability, and encouragement.

Throughout each ministry season, you will learn to put your faith into practice, care for one another, and help others grow. Our hope is a church full of disciples who make disciples, for the glory of God.

A few helpful answers

What can
I expect?

Real relationships. Time in God's Word. Encouragement to live out what you are learning.

What is a D-Group?

A D-Group is a focused, gender-specific or co-ed community where Bible engagement, prayer, and accountability help members grow in Christ. Group sizes vary, with some groups gathering around 12 people. The emphasis is on meaningful relationships and helping one another grow as disciples who make disciples.

When and where do groups meet?

Each leader and group choose a time and place that work for them. Groups may gather in homes, coffee shops, or local restaurants, on any day of the week. Most meet once a week for 60-90 minutes.

How do I join a group?

Life Groups are a natural starting point for building the relationships that lead to D-Groups. Talk with your Life Group leader or express your interest through Disciple Signup. You may express interest at any time; each D-Group closes to new participants after its second week.

Can I start or lead a D-Group?

Yes, we would love to hear from you. You may already have people in mind, or you may be open to leading people who need a group. D-Group leaders must be WBC members and active in a current Life Group, and must meet with, be trained by, and be approved by the Senior Pastor or his designee.

What are the current and upcoming session dates?

The current fall session runs through November 2026. The next session is tentatively expected to begin sometime January 17-24, 2027, and continue until around Mother's Day weekend in May. Exact start and finish dates may vary by group and will be confirmed with each leader. Studies, meeting locations, and available spaces will be shared as plans are finalized.

Your next step can start with a conversation.

We would love to help you find your place.
