Womens Discipleship
We long to help you grow in your walk with Christ and discipleship is one of the most impactful ways of doing this–it’s what Jesus did. Groups are kept small and provide a great place for care, prayer, going deep in the Word and opportunities to serve and reach out to others.
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Laboring in the lives of a few with the intention of imparting one's life, the gospel and God's Word in such a way as to see them become mature and equipped followers of Christ, committed to doing the same in the lives of others.
Because Jesus calls us to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). During His ministry on earth, Jesus invested deeply in a few men - loving, teaching, and equipping them. We desire to follow His example.
Life-on-life missional discipleship at Perimeter happens in small groups of 5-6 ladies who commit to meet together for one year at a time. Each group has a leader who has a heart to develop a safe community where ladies can be known, loved, and care for one another. This community helps one another know God through His Word, grow in Christ-likeness, and become equipped to invest in others.

Discipleship groups meet formally once a week.
Some of our working moms groups meet every other week to accommodate women who are juggling work and home life.
1. Fill out an interest form. This lets us know a little about you, which helps us connect you to a leader whose group is meeting at a time and location that works for you.
2. Wait to hear from a leader. We do not assign groups. We will introduce you to a leader who is forming a new group or has space in a current group. We encourage you to talk with ladies you know at Perimeter to find out about potential openings in their discipleship groups. This process takes time. The groups start forming and connection tends to happen in late July through August. Feel free to reach out to Kelli Means for an update or questions in the process.
3. Meet with a leader face-to-face. This gives you both an opportunity to get to know one another. You can find out more about the leader's group and she can learn what you are looking for in a group as well.
4. Pray and decide. After meeting with a leader, please take a little time to think and pray about whether to commit to the group.
