What this is.
The Go Groups x Faith in Action series combines faith-based small group curriculum and community impact by applying entrepreneurial principles. Move beyond discussion-based curriculum and challenge participants to work on a mission-minded project. Participants work together for 90-days to take action on their passion, purpose, and calling.
Why this matters.
Connect each participant’s God-given passion, purpose, calling, talents and gifts to multiply their impact in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 25, Parable of the Talents). Work as a group to get outside of the four walls and be the church in the community. Move beyond one-time food banks, clothing drives, or community initiatives that may hurt the people we serve. Provide a runway for more sustainable community impact and ignite the entrepreneurial, creative, and innovative passion of members in your congregation.
How this works.
Each of the 12 Go Groups sessions include a Scripture-based discussion, lesson video by Philip Harding connecting faith and impact, and ends with participants sharing feedback on completed projects. Participants move from just talking or dreaming to taking action with real people. Jesus said to go. (Matthew 28) This is how to go. An optional community impact event at the end of the series offers an opportunity to invite community leaders, government officials, and partners to participate in the story. Participants can then go to their next level, start their own Go Group, and live out their passion, purpose, and calling.
What participants are saying
John: "It's really cool to look around the room when we're gathering together and just see wheels turning and that they don't stop turning. And it's not that frustrating-I'm-pulling-my-hair-out kind of grind. It's more of, wait a minute, this is starting to make sense. Wait a minute. This is what I've been looking for."
Laurie: "...my pain starts to go away because of all these good chemicals being released out of my brain. When I get excited and passionate about this, I start feeling physically better. I feel myself with increased energy. It happens every single time I get excited and get to share this."
Zuri: "It's so nice to come learn about yourself and your passions and then see how you can impact the world around you."

About Philip Harding
Philip Harding has worked with thousands both in and outside of the church to better take action on mission-critical projects. He is the co-founder of Impact Junkie, a social impact business focused on equipping and empowering entrepreneurs to connect to their God-given purpose in business. Producing Go Groups is a response to leaders in over 20+ countries asking for a more strategic approach to move people to take action in their organizations. Since 2020, he has worked as a consultant with pastors and faith leaders tackling big challenges such as launching mission centers in urban communities. As a result, pastors began requesting his work be applied to creating a discipleship program for churches.
