Local Church Lifegroups
Lifegroups have one, simple purpose: to FIND FRIENDS you can do life with. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Lifegroups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
Leading a Lifegroup
Leading a Lifegroup isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a place to connect. Hosting a group is simple—choose a topic that interests you and select a time to meet with others to share it. We give you essential tools to make your Lifegroup successful through Leader Training and a place where you can register your group so others can find it easily. We believe people’s lives are changed one semester at a time by moving one step toward Christ, and as a Lifegroup leader you get to play an important role in that process.
JOIN A GROUP!
Our new Lifegroup sessions begin this October. Each lifegroup will connect at various days/times throughout the week over the next 6-8 weeks. Our topics for this semester will vary for each group.
Some Lifegroups will connect in-person and others via video chat using Zoom. For Zoom groups, your Lifegroup Leader will send you an invite via email and/or text message with a link to join in the conversation. You can easily join your group using a computer, tablet, or your smart phone!
