Online Christian Community
Strategy, content and coaching for churches to maintain community and spiritual growth in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.
Live Second Groups
Change has come. The coronavirus situation has forced us out of our normal routines. You can’t go to your church buildings on Sunday mornings. You can’t meet at the local coffee shop for a Bible study. So what do you do? How can you maintain your Christian communities in these uncertain times? We can help!
e3 has created an online Christian community strategy that we refer to as “Live Second Groups”. These groups can help you maintain and even further your Christian community. We provide you with content and coaching to continue growing as Christ followers in the midst of the current coronavirus situation. And it’s all FREE! Continue learning from the Bible, developing strong spiritual disciplines, and remaining attentive to the needs of others around you.
How it Works
e3 utilizes virtual meeting technology and an obedience-based discussion and discovery Bible study known as “3/3rds” to establish Live Second Groups. You can learn more about 3/3rds here. If you are unsure of how to set up online meetings or how to lead a Bible study using the 3/3rds pattern, no problem! We’ll walk you through how to do everything. We have dozens of coaches ready and eager to serve you.
What You’ll Accomplish
God is using Live Second Groups to equip the church, to deepen our relationship with Him, and to engage more people who are searching for hope and peace in their lives.
When you start or join a Live Second Group, we provide you with a “Live Second Game Plan” that walks you through the 3/3rds Bible study pattern and 10 weeks of Bible stories to study. We also provide you with a FREE coordinator who will model what it looks like to organize and lead a Live Second Group and assist you with anything else you may need.
Who to Invite
Group leaders can start with friends and family. If you already have small groups from church, you can start there too! Then invite others from your “Oikos” as well. Think of people in your sphere of influence — those close to you who are far from God. People are searching for hope right now. They’re more open to the gospel. Inviting them to your Live Second Group could be a great way to share the love and hope of Christ with them!
What You’ll Learn
As mentioned above, the Live Second Game Plan walks you through 10 weeks of Bible stories using the 3/3rds Bible study pattern. Throughout the course of the 10 weeks, you’ll learn about many of the commands Christ gives us as His followers, and simple tools to help you with those commands. You’ll grow in obedience and boldness for Christ and in confidence to share the Good News with others. Some of the tools you’ll learn include:
15-Second Testimony
A simple way to share your testimony with someone in just 15-seconds.
3-Circles Gospel Sharing Tool
A method of sharing the gospel that is both easy to learn and understand.
Church Circle
The functions of a healthy church as is shown to us in Acts 2:36-47.
You can learn more about these tools and find lots of other helpful tools and resources all for FREE on our training page.
e3 Partners
Equip God’s People. Evangelize His World. Establish His Church.
e3 Partners exists to make the local church accessible to every person, everywhere. We started in 1987 with short-term trips to Mexico, and over the last 32 years, God’s grown the ministry, expanded our vision, and used our teams to do some incredible things for His Kingdom. Last year alone, we helped plant over 60,000 new churches!
We want to help you reach those far from God and build up the body of Christ, because like you, we have a burden for the lost—for reaching them with the hope and love of Jesus. We believe Jesus is the hope of the world and this hope can be found in the expression of the gospel through the local church. You can learn more about our ministry here.
Testimonials
“We’ve been training our church to facilitate Live Second groups and in just two weeks we have seen new and deeper level of relationships as people connected in a new format online.”
“In this time when we haven’t been able to hang out with our friends, Live Second Groups have provided opportunities to check in on one another and introduce friends to the hope of Christ through simple Bible discovery discussions.”
“The online training has helped during the COVID-19 crisis. Our weekly training has provided clear vision for how we can continue to make disciples even through the temporary suspension of church meetings. I can’t wait to see where the Lord leads us the rest of this year.”

Frank E. Knight's Staff Support Fundraiser
I am excited to say that God has called me (Frank E. Knight Jr.) to be a blinding light in the world of the motorcycle community. Our Lord has opened the door for me to combine my love for evangelism and my love for motorcycles by leading me to join e3 Partners Ministry as an I Am Second Ambassador on the IAS Xtreme Ministry Team.
Our Mission within the motorcycle community is to invigorate believers into sharing their faith and bringing non-believers into a relationship with Jesus.
We do this by Equipping Christians with the tools to enable them to share their faith; Evangelizing the un-reached; and Establishing new I AM SECOND groups within jails, prisons, motorcycle chapters, and biker friendly churches
Will you join us and invest in God’s Kingdom by partnering with us through financial support?
Financial support can be given on a monthly or periodic basis. It is typically most helpful to consider a monthly partnership so that we can manage our finances accordingly, but the Lord uses all gifts, including periodic, annual gifts, or special gifts.
There are a couple of ways for you to become a financial ministry partner.
The easiest is by clicking on the donate button and creating a monthly support plan using electronic funds transfer technology or donating a special gift of any amount.
The other option is to mail a check payable to “I Am Second” addressed to:
Frank Knight Jr. / Motorcycle Ministry
Account # 509
I Am Second
c/o e3 PARTNERS MINISTRY
2001 W. Plano Parkway, Ste. 2600
Plano, TX 75075
For a timely tax receipt, please provide your full name, address, phone #, and email.
All your contributions to our ministry either through e3 Partners Ministry or I Am Second are tax deductible and sincerely appreciated.
Of course the amount is up to you, as gifts of all sizes will be cheerfully accepted as they are cheerfully given – “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Many people making even the smallest of donations enable the I Am Second Motorcycle Ministry to reach others with the life-changing wisdom of putting Jesus first. Your gifts also allow us to travel to the larger secular motorcycle events making a bigger impact for Christ and the financial capability of distributing free Bibles.
My commitment to my financial partners is to work diligently to touch the lives of people for Jesus Christ; to regularly let you know how God is blessing our ministry; and how your financial gift is reaching out to transform the lost by giving inspiration to a father or mother, showing Christ’s love to a child, bringing answers to our brothers & sisters seeking the truth, and providing hope to those that are slaves to destructive lifestyles.
I have no idea what you might be able to do, but it would be a tremendous honor to have you investing in us and our ministry.
Thank you in advance for whatever the Lord leads you to do.
