VIRTUAL SMALL GROUP DISCIPLESHIP  ”How do you do discipleship without being in-person? When Pastor Tara VinCross’s book, “Deep Calling: On Being and Growing Disciples,” came out, I was very excited to implement the curriculum. I heard her firsthand accounts of transformation in this journey, saw God at work in her life as a spiritual companion, and experienced personal blessing and inspiration through the book. But I had some fears about leading the process myself.” —Raewyn Orlich, Associate Pastor for Nurture and Discipleship at the La Sierra Church in Riverside, California Click above icon or here for Pastor Raewyn’s discoveries about virtual discipleship.
