Disciples Grow Into Maturity
May 21 | DNA Guide
Be Real Together:
Take a few minutes to catch up, tell stories, and laugh together. Trust and friendship take time to build. If you’re launching a new DNA, one person should tell their story — what do we need to know about you? Next week, have another person in your DNA share their story.
Read Together: Ephesians 4:11-16 CSB

Grow Together:
Use these questions to go deeper with your DNA or for personal study.
- In what areas are you growing in Christ-likeness?
- In what ways are you growing in stability and strength?
- In what ways are you growing in your participation in the body of Christ?
Pray Together:
Take time to pray with and for each other.
