Jesus’ call to apprenticeship was a call into community with a few others. The disciples’ shared journey and task was an essential part of Jesus’ plan for changing them. Community was the environment in which they would learn to love God and one another in authentic and practical ways. After sharing the journey together, each one of his apprentices became equipped to join in Jesus’ mission. They were launched into the world to start new communities centred on Jesus, wherever they went. Life Groups at NLCC try to reflect that DNA of apprenticeship and mission in their life together! And as a leader you have the opportunity to foster and host this community, drawing people closer to God, others, and their community.
