You are invited and encouraged to be part of a Life Group! Are you
questioning whether you should join a Life Group? Think about how hard it is to connect with a group of 1000. Then think about being valued by 10 people.
A Life Group is a place where:
- You can belong and be valued.
- Love and concern are given and received.
- Prayer and a Biblical or topical study are enjoyed.
- Your spiritual and practical gifts can be used to benefit the group.
Life Groups is literally about doing life together as Jesus and his
disciples did life together. Many times Jesus taught his disciples as they
ate together, took boat trips, climbed hills and walked through wheat
fields. They went through good times and bad times, served and prayed in
community. As participants in Life Groups you will be encouraged to
participate in a variety of activities, like these, to help you discover the
depth and diversity of doing life and growing together. The goal of Life Groups is to live authentically before God and our neighbors. It’s simply about loving those around us and watching what God will do as we open our lives to welcome those people that God would have cross our paths. It is our desire that existing life groups provide healthy options for our church family to find significant relationships with each other and to extend the same invitation to their neighbors.
