L.I.F.E. Groups

What is a L.I.F.E. GROUP?

Groups have 12-15 adults who meet weekly or every other week for 1.5 hours in various homes or the church.  There are a many groups to choose from.  Across the groups you’ll find a variety of family dynamics, demographics and different stages of life.  Some meeting during the week, some meet on the weekend.  This diversity allows you to pick a group that is a good fit for you.  To find out which group might be best for you, please contact us or speak with Pastor Don at the church office.

L.I.F.E. Groups gather for 3 main purposes:

  1. Sharing
  2. Prayer
  3. Bible Study
L.I.F.E. GROUPS help people answer 4 main questions:
  • L  =  Love (who will care about me?)
  • I  =  Influence (who will help me choose correctly?)
  • F  =  Fellowship (who will be my friends?)
  • E  =  Equip (who will train me to be Christ-like?)
We want to:
  1. CONNECT people to others in a meaningful relationship.
  2. Make sure all of the people in the group are being CARED for.
  3. Promote a COHESIVENESS within the Church.

Currently, we have over 60% of our adults and young people involved in a L.I.F.E. GROUP. Below is a sampling of some of the groups that currently have room for more people.  Check out the groups, then contact us to discuss which group is best for you.
