Life Groups
We believe that real spiritual growth happens when people connect face to face. That’s hard to do in a church row. With Life Groups, we encourage people to move from rows to circles, sharing genuine life-on-life community with a few other Christians within the larger church. Life Groups provide a chance to connect with others and to spiritually grow together as followers of Christ.
FAQ
- WHAT IS A LIFE GROUP?
Life Groups are small groups of about 8-12 people who gather for the purpose of connecting with Jesus and one another. Sometimes food is involved. Most of the time, the groups will meet in someone’s home. There is usually a discussion around a Bible-centered, topical study and time for praying about specific things on people’s minds. What you’ll probably find is the more people open up, the more you’ll see they are just like you with questions, doubts, fears, pasts, and a desire to grow in their faith.
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25
- WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW LONG DO LIFE GROUPS MEET?
Life Groups generally gather weekly for about 90 minutes. Most groups meet in the evening, but the day of the week varies by the group.
- WHAT’S THE COMMITMENT LEVEL ON THIS?
Most Life Groups will have a cycle. There will be a beginning and endpoint twice a year. September – October and February – April. Each ending and beginning of a new cycle allow for natural changes to occur, new groups to form, and new leaders to emerge. Some groups continue to meet in other months if they so choose.
The only things we ask you to commit to are attending each time your group meets, serving your community together with your group, being honest with each other and wanting to grow in your faith.
