What is Growth 360?

Whole-life discipleship

Hello Mom 360 family! Growth 360 is how we help moms grow in every area of life: spirit, heart, identity, home and influence. Each study runs for about 12 weeks and is done in a small circle of moms who meet weekly, online or in person.

Your circle walks through a study guide together. The guide does the teaching. Your circle gives you a safe place to process it, put it into practice and be prayed for. Alongside your study, the whole community reads through the Bible together with the Mom in the Word reading plan.

The Growth 360 path

Year one: ROOTED, BLOOM, THRIVE and FLOURISH, four studies that ground a mom in her faith, her heart, her identity and her home.

Next level: LEGACY, for moms ready to be formed as leaders who raise up others.

The Studies

Five studies. One growing mom.

Every study follows the same simple weekly rhythm, so once you know it, you can join or lead any of them. Choose where you want to start.

01
Rooted
Growing Spiritually

The foundation of everything. ROOTED helps moms build a living, daily relationship with God through His Word, prayer and worship, so faith holds firm in every season of motherhood.

  • Knowing God and being known by Him
  • Building simple, steady rhythms of Bible reading and prayer
  • Hearing God and growing in trust
  • Faith that holds in busy and hard seasons

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him." Colossians 2:6-7

Bloom
Emotional & Relational Wellness

Moms carry so much on the inside. BLOOM invites God into the heart: the hurts, the thought patterns, the weariness and the relationships, so moms can heal, rest and grow in healthy connection with others.

  • Healing the hidden places
  • Renewing the mind
  • Rest and rhythms of grace
  • Planted together: friendship and community

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3

Thrive
Identity & Purpose

Who am I beyond the roles I carry? THRIVE helps moms anchor their identity in Christ and discover the gifts, calling and purpose God has placed in them, in this season and beyond it.

  • Your identity in Christ
  • Discovering your gifts and calling
  • Purpose in the season you are in
  • Stewarding your time, dreams and assignments

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works." Ephesians 2:10

Flourish
Marriage & Parenting

FLOURISH brings faith home. Moms explore God's design for family, learn to pray for and love their husbands and children well, and build a home where faith is lived out every day. Single moms are warmly welcome.

  • God's design for marriage and family
  • Praying for your husband and children
  • Raising children in faith
  • Building a home of peace and purpose

"As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Legacy
Legacy Leadership

LEGACY is the next level for moms who have walked through year one and sense God calling them to lead. It is where moms are formed to serve, build and raise up others, through our Apprentice program and the Family Ambassador Mentoring Intensive (FAMI).

  • Leading from a healthy, grounded life
  • Serving on the Families Arising team
  • Mentoring and raising up other moms
  • Building something that outlives you

"Entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." 2 Timothy 2:2

How Circles Work

What a circle looks like

A Growth 360 circle is a small group of moms who meet each week to study, share and pray. Every session follows the same rhythm, and every study follows the same 12-week flow.

A typical session

  1. Welcome10 MINSettle in, catch up and answer a light check-in question.
  2. Look Up10 MINOpen in prayer and, if you like, a worship song.
  3. Learn20 MINRead the session teaching and Scripture together.
  4. Key Takeaway5 MINName the one truth to carry home.
  5. Listen25 MINTalk through the discussion questions and hear one another.
  6. Live It10 MINChoose your personal commitment and weekly challenge.
  7. Lift Up10 MINPray for one another and close.

The 12-week flow

Week 1 · Welcome

Meet your circle, get to know one another and make the Circle Covenant together.

Weeks 2 to 11 · Sessions & Going Deeper

Teaching sessions alternate with Going Deeper weeks. Going Deeper weeks are lighter and slower, with space to reflect, share how your Live It challenge went, pray longer and sometimes do something creative together.

Week 12 · Celebration & Recommitment

Celebrate what God has done, share your story of growth and recommit to the next step.

Week 8 · Family Focus Masterclass

A Saturday mini-conference online for the whole community, in week 8 of every study.

For Moms Ready to Gather Others

Lead a circle

You don't need to be a teacher or a counsellor. If you love God, love moms and are willing to pray, prepare and listen, you can lead a circle. The study guide does the teaching. You hold the space.

A circle leader is

  • A host who makes moms feel welcome and safe
  • A guide who keeps the session on track and on time
  • A listener who draws out quiet voices
  • A pray-er who carries her circle to God

A circle leader is not

  • A preacher who must have every answer
  • A counsellor or therapist
  • Someone who fixes or carries every burden alone
  1. Pray about itAsk God who He is sending you to gather.
  2. Apply to leadFill in the leader application. We will set up a short conversation with you, and once we agree together that you are ready, you will receive the Growth 360 Leader Guide.
  3. Register your circleChoose a day, time and place (home, church, café or online) and register your circle with us so moms can find it in the app.
  4. Invite your momsInvite personally: church, the app, school gates, playgroups, friends, neighbours and social media. Aim for 6 to 12 moms.

Commitment & Trust

The Circle Covenant

Trust is the soil a circle grows in. In week one, every circle reads this covenant together and each mom signs it.

Confidentiality

What is shared here stays here, unless someone is at risk of harm.

Attendance

We come each week we can, and let our leader know when we can't.

Preparation

We read the week's session in the study guide before we meet.

Prayer

We pray for one another between sessions.

Listening

We listen to understand, not to fix, judge or advise unless asked.

Respect

We share the time so every voice is heard.

Honesty

We speak truthfully and kindly about our own lives.

Grace

We make room for different stories, seasons and opinions.

Safety

We agree our leader may connect us with Care and Counselling Partners when more support is needed.

Questions

Frequently asked

Which study should I start with?

If you are new to Growth 360, we recommend ROOTED, because it builds the foundation for everything else. You are also welcome to join whichever study is starting next.

Do I have to do all the studies?

No. Each study stands on its own. Many moms choose to walk through all four year one studies, but you can take them one at a time at your own pace.

Do circles meet online or in person?

Both. Some circles meet in homes, churches or cafés, and others meet online. Choose the one that fits your life.

What if I miss a week?

Life with children happens. Let your leader know, read the session on your own and come back the following week. Your circle will be glad to see you.

Can I bring my children?

That depends on your circle. Some in-person circles arrange childcare and online circles let you join from home. Ask your circle leader.

I'm not married. Is FLOURISH for me?

Yes. FLOURISH covers marriage and parenting, and single moms will find plenty for their home, their children and their own walk with God.

Do I need experience to lead a circle?

No. You need a heart for God and for moms, a willingness to prepare and pray, and a commitment to the Circle Covenant. The Leader Guide and the Companions team will walk with you.

What if a mom in my circle needs more help than the circle can give?

Circle leaders are friends and guides, not counsellors. The Leader Guide explains when and how to refer a mom to our Care and Counselling Partners, and what to do right away if anyone may be in danger.
