This is the foundational group for all Team Discipleship groups, and its size is based on how many could fellowship around one table. This group consists of men only or women only, and this allows for more intimate discussion and accountability. Otherwise, the group should follow the Roe model with men and women.

The Drude Group, as with all other Team discipleship groups, uses the Life Application Study Bible as its text, and it is available in many versions. “Leadertips” is the format, which makes it easy for other leaders to emerge.

If you do not have Bible studies in your church, you could start with this model. You will find each member falling more and more in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word.

Size: 2-7
Time: 1 hour minimum
Meet: In restaurants, homes, or offices
