Life Groups
What is a Life Group?
LIFE GROUPS exist to promote authentic communities where people are given the opportunity to pursue and experience belonging in Christ and becoming more like Him.
We believe people were created to discover a place of belonging through diverse life-giving relationships within the family of God. Only then can we become mature disciples who experience the full life He intends for us.
Meaningful relationships can be hard to find, but choosing to pursue them is not optional for a follower of Jesus. The kind of real discipleship that is loving, giving, and transformational only happens in the context of relationships because we follow a relational God who desires to be known. Life Groups are an essential component of our church helping people know and follow Jesus step-by-step.
Open Groups
Connect Groups
The primary goal of a Connect Group is CONNECTING: To belong to Christ and one another in authentic community where we can know and be known. These are groups of approximately 8-15 people who “do life” together designed to provide opportunity for members to grow spiritually through focused discussion around Scripture, a topic, book, or curriculum. Our hope is that these groups grow together, continue on longer than a semester, and eventually multiply.
Care & Support Groups
The primary goal of Care & Support Groups is PROTECTING: To bear one another’s burdens with intentional love and service. These are groups with a singular, defined focus of providing support and wholeness, such as walking people through recovery, abuse or grief. Members connect in a safe environment with an eye toward facing common issues and receiving care and encouragement.
Next Step Groups
The primary goal of a Next Step Group is REFLECTING: To grow in Christlikeness as effective disciples. Next Step groups are defined-length and defined-purpose groups conducted in partnership with Next Step ministries. They are designed to help maturing disciples of Jesus achieve an outcome in personal or spiritual formation. Some examples include Biblical foundations for new believers, Alpha class for the spiritually curious, or managing your finances in a Godly way.
Lead or Host a Life Group
Are you considering leading or hosting a Life Group? Is God leading you to start a group? We would love the chance to meet with you and explore the numerous opportunities available.
- Life Group LEADERS are spiritual shepherds who help disciple a small group of approximately 6-12 people in authentic community.
- Life Group HOSTS provide a comfortable safe space to welcome small groups, meeting on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Outreach
Our vision is that we are a local church of Christ-followers who love in outreach with intentionality so that those far from God may be brought closer to Him.
