“Why Join a DNA Group?” A Panel Discussion
Ever wondered what it's like to be in a Renaissance DNA group? Six members of our community share their real and earnest experiences and offer candid advice for anyone considering joining a group for the first time, or giving it another try.

DNA Groups (Discipleship, Nurturing, Accountability) provide an encouraging space to explore who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him. God made us to be in community, so we need others to help us apply the gospel to our lives. DNA Groups are also a key way that our church ensures you are known and cared for.
Each week, DNA groups meet to watch a short teaching video, discuss the previous week's sermon, discuss life, and pray together. All of the content is designed to help us follow Jesus and renew our minds with the gospel.
DNA Groups consist of 10-12 participants, who meet in person or via virtual video call (Zoom or Google), based on preference.
