P.O.W.E.R. Groups

Discipleship is a core value of Cross Impact IUPUI. Discipleship may be defined as "the loving commitment to the spiritual maturity of another believer in helping to bring him/her into greater Christlikeness" (Ephesians 4:11-12; Colossians 1:28-29; Hebrews 3:13-14; 10:24-25). Our P.O.W.E.R. Groups are structured to accomplish this definition. Essentially, a P.O.W.E.R. Group is a small community group of believers that is committed to intentional discipleship and biblical relationships that draw each other closer to Jesus Christ. The idea of P.O.W.E.R. Groups was originated by the Great Discipler Himself, when Jesus gathered twelve ordinary men who enjoyed an intentional, personal relationship with Him and were forever changed by it.

P.O.W.E.R. Groups Goals

Prayer – The foundation of all spiritual relationships is praying for and with one another.
Openness – Loving, spiritual relationships are built on transparency and honesty.
Word – The Scriptures are the center and core of spiritual maturity.
Encouragement – Christlike friendships are built on serving and building up one another.
Responsibility – Mutual respect for one another is established on members being responsible for themselves, their ministry, and others.

P.O.W.E.R. Groups Bible Study Series

This semester, we will be studying the book of 1 John in a series titled, "Assurance that lasts." Devotional materials will be posted soon.
Last year, these small groups studied the book of Esther, learning how God is always sovereignly in control...even in the shadows. To access the POWER group booklets on this topic, click here.
In the past, we went through the study of "Truth or Myth? Exposing Eight Common Myths About God, The Bible, and You." If you would be interested in doing a study of this with one of our Cross Impact Officers, please contact our director at director@crossimpactiupui.org.
