Grow together through structured Christian community formation.

Build authentic Christian community with this comprehensive nine-month small-group program rooted in Wesleyan theology and proven Wesleyan group-meeting methods. Designed for real transformation, Be Known: Communities of Blessing by Justin Schoolcraft guides participants from first introduction to genuine belonging, prioritizing character formation through shared experience rather than solo study. No homework. No videos. Everything your group needs is contained in the participant book.

A Clear Path from Exploration to Community

- The program unfolds across three carefully structured sections:

- Purpose (a kickoff session plus six sessions) lays the foundation by introducing five essential practices for a healthy Christian community.

- Belonging (nine sessions plus a celebration) draws participants into God's story, into one another's lives, and into a deeper understanding of themselves.

- Growth (six sessions) mines the riches of historic Christian practices to deepen each participant's relationship with God.

Designed for Real Groups, Real Life

Groups of 8 to 12 participants, plus a leader, meet weekly or biweekly in a clearly defined meeting format that removes guesswork and builds consistency. Short lessons, read aloud together, cultivate vulnerability and empathy. Deeply relational discussion questions connect biblical content to personal story. Lighthearted icebreakers and varied group activities progressively build trust and care. Each session opens with an Orienting paragraph read aloud to anchor the group in shared purpose. A distinctive emphasis on serving together moves groups beyond discussion into meaningful ministry, equipping participants to support and carry one another through life's real challenges.

Flexible Pacing with Built-In Accountability

With a nine-month timeline, groups set their own rhythm. A natural evaluation point after the first six sessions gives leaders and participants an intentional opportunity to assess the group's health and readiness before moving into deeper engagement.

Part of a Two-Book Journey

Be Known is the first book in a two-part discipleship program. The journey continues with Schoolcraft's Do Good: Communities of Hope, which deepens relationships with one another and with God, solidifying a Wesley-style community built for lasting connection and Kingdom impact.

Ideal for: Christian small groups, adult Sunday school classes, church discipleship programs, Wesleyan and Methodist congregations, spiritual formation cohorts, and anyone seeking a structured, relationship-centered approach to community and character formation.
