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.
