GROWTH GROUPS
What are Growth Groups?
Growth Groups are sermon-based small groups that meet weekly in homes throughout our community. These groups practice the following:
• Fellowship
• Sermon discussion and application
• Prayer
• Local ministry projects
Why Are Growth Groups Important?
At Imago Dei, we long to see believers grow into the image and likeness of Christ. We believe one way God accomplishes this is through missional community: living life together and challenging one another to grow as disciples of Christ. We desire to be a church where meaningful relationships are formed, in the spirit of Hebrews 10:25.

MEMBERSHIP
We believe that the most important and valuable way to be involved in Imago Dei Church is through covenant membership. If you are interested in becoming a member at IDC (or if you just want to learn more about IDC), the first step is to attend our membership class. There you will have the opportunity to learn and ask questions about the IDC community and our various areas of ministry. Afterwards, you will be able to introduce yourself to IDC through our Prospective Member Introduction. The process concludes with new members being introduced to the church family at one of our Member’s Meetings.
CLICK HERE for details and sign-up information for our next membership class. If you have questions about membership at IDC, please email membership@idcraleigh.com.
