PLEASE NOTE:
D-Group has its own study schedule and curriculum. It does NOT follow along with The Bible Recap. If you'd like to go through The Bible Recap with others, consider joining our Patreon family or using our Weekly Discussion Guide with your own group!

WELCOME! We're so excited for you to join us! We have a variety of ways you can connect, so please review the options below to find your personal best way to join or start a D-Group:
A. If you're interested in joining an in-person D-Group: please visit our Map and look for a D-Group in your area. From there, you'll email the Leader of the D-Group that interests you. He or she will send you an "Intro To D-Group" video with more info, which should answer most of your questions. After you've watched that video and replied to the Leader, he or she will reply with specific info on our current study and curriculum.
B. If there's not a D-Group near you, and you're interested in starting one: please fill out the Leader Interest Form for more info on becoming a Leader. Someone from our team will contact you right away with more info on New Leader Training (NLT). NLT is our 6-step online training process which includes videos, a handbook, testimonial, doctrinal statement, etc. Most people complete all 6 steps of NLT within 3-7 days; it takes about 4-6 hours total.
We typically wrap up New Leader Training for the upcoming session about a week before the session launches, so you'll want to get started at least 2 weeks prior to the session launch. Here's a link to our schedule.
PLEASE NOTE: Before beginning NLT, we recommend that ALL potential Leaders (even existing members of D-Group) review the 4 pages of our website that pertain to our Beliefs, Absolutes, Convictions, and Values. These will all play a vital role in the NLT process, and it's extremely helpful if potential Leaders enter into the NLT process with this information already in mind.
C. If there's not a D-Group near you and you aren’t ready to start/lead your own: consider joining us for an Online D-Group. From there, you'll email the Leader of that group that interests you. He or she will send you an "Intro To D-Group" video with more info, which should answer most of your questions. After you've watched that video and replied to the Leader, he or she will reply with specific info on our current study and curriculum.
NOTE:
There is a class/curriculum fee of $25 per 6-week session, which is WAIVED for all first-time members! Returning members submit their "Shares" prior to the Launch Party for each session (the first meeting of the 6-week period). Shares are how we pay the D-Group Staff & Fellows (there are 30+ of us!), as well as keep things running smoothly for all the members! If you want more info on this, check out our Shares page.
Again, if you're NEW to D-Group, your Shares will be waived for the first session, so please feel free to join us without hesitation and find out what we're all about!
