| abstract |
This dissertation project addresses the historical disposition, current opportunities, strategy and actions of the Refuge Temple Church in attracting and integrating
young adults between the ages of 20-40 to become Christian disciples as part of the Refuge Temple Church family. This project seeks to work through the group formation
dynamics in equipping congregational laity for the ministry by forming and facilitating small community groups in relationship building. The objective of this project is
to influence the practices and behaviors of the congregation through the impact of transforming lay leaders to becoming highly relational members who can become effective
at forming and leading others into a life of Christian discipleship.
