WHAT IS A LIFE GROUP?
It is a small group of people gathering together weekly to share food, fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. Life Groups are open to those who are seeking or investigating Jesus and His message. Life groups exist to deepen relationships with God and with one another. Life groups help develop and nurture long-term trust and relationships, loving support, and accountability as followers of Jesus.
WHY JOIN A LIFE GROUP?
Discipleship - Life Group provides opportunities for believers to learn from each other as we apply the gospel within the intimacy of relationships.
Study - Life Group provides opportunities to discuss and apply God's Word to real world challenges.
Curiosity - Life Group provides opportunities to ask questions in a trusted environment that you might not ask elsewhere.
Accountability - Life Group can provide a more intimate atmosphere of trust to share and develop personal spiritual growth.
Evangelism - Life Group can be a stepping stone to church worship, it can be easier to invite friends to a small group who are unready to come to church.
Hospitality - Hosting non-family members can be intimidating, but a small group provides opportunity to witness and practice hospitality.
Commitment - Life Group provides an opportunity to form a commitment and tighter bond with the church.
Prayer - New Testament believers prayed together "with one accord". Life Group provides the opportunity to join with other believers in a more intimate setting to pray together.
Socializing - Life Group can help develop a greater sense of Christian community in a disconnected age.
