essentials of spiritual growth and multiplication

The Essentials of Spiritual Growth and Multiplication is a small-group discussion series. It is designed to help students grow in Christ and become involved in ministry and multiplication as soon as possible.

Essentials is an evangelism and discipleship strategy but works differently than many other strategies you may have used. It penetrates the student body of a campus along the natural relational network that already exists. Second and third generation groups are formed as new group leaders are asked to invite their friends and acquaintances to attend.

Part 1 explores the DNA of the Christian life and the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Part 2 explores Knowing and responding to God in more depth - a brief applied theology course.
