Discipleship Groups at West Hills Church

“Connecting God’s people in intimate relationships for Bible study, accountability, and prayer.”


At the core of West Hills Church is our commitment to disciple-making—a journey we take seriously and joyfully. Discipleship Groups (D-groups) are where the seeds of faith planted in larger gatherings are carefully tended in the fertile ground of a close-knit community.


The Heart of D-groups:

  • D-groups are gender-specific gatherings of 3-5 individuals, fostering an environment for personal sharing and spiritual sharpening that’s as sincere as it is deep.

  • Our groups vary—some are mentor-led, exemplifying the call of 1 Corinthians 11:1 to imitate Christ together; others focus on mutual edification, living out the wisdom of Proverbs 27:17, where we sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron.

  • D-groups cultivate both internal fellowship amongst West Hillians, as well as outward engagement in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to impact the world beyond our church walls.

Our Vision for Discipleship:

Our measure of success is clear: if you're growing in your love for God and others through your D-group, we're achieving our mission. It’s about connecting God’s people in intimate relationships for Bible study, accountability, and prayer—fueling growth in Christ-likeness.


Engaging in D-groups:

  • Dive into the essence of what it means to be part of the body of Christ, growing together with fellow believers from West Hills and the greater St. Louis area.

  • Step into a D-group focused on outreach and experience the fulfillment of sharing God's love with the community and world at large.
