Church Circle
The initial tool used to form a group into a new church is the Church Circle exercise.
Disciples in an existing group or church identify the functions of healthy churches in Acts 2:36-42. They place a symbol within the circle if they are fulfilling that function. The symbol is outside the circle if they are not displaying a function. A dotted circle represents a discipleship group that has not yet committed to be church together. A solid line shows the group has committed to be a church.
