LIFE GROUPS
“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” - Acts 2:46-47

What is a Life Group?A life group provides a place to connect and grow closer together, develop a deeper relationship with God and reach out to our surrounding community. If we are to go and make disciples then we need to continually strive to know Jesus more intimately and be centered and strong in our faith so we can share the unconditional love of Christ! A life group setting helps us follow the New Testament commands to love each other, serve each other, teach each other, accept each other, honor each other, bear each other’s burdens, forgive each other, submit to each other and be devoted to each other.
Where does a Life Group meet?A life group usually meets in a home setting. Some have met on the church property when Wednesday Night Discipleship Classes are going on, where a meal and child care are available. To use the church property it needs to be approved by the church office.

Who is in a Life Group?
We have life groups from high school through retirement!
Each life group is different and unique according to their own lifestyles and the love of Jesus Christ is always present in each one!

What we hear from Life Groups:
"A group of strangers got together and bonded as a family. We are a small family within the church. People you can count on, and who can count on you. We are there for each other and the church." - Shepherds Life Group "We’ve gone camping and to the mountains together. All of our service projects have been very positive for the group." - Carpenters Life Group |
"My Life Group is a family for me. I appreciate each person’s special gifts and each contributes wonderful energy to the left we have together. We are a 'safe haven' where we can share our innermost struggles and feelings without fear of rejections or judgment. Being in community means being willing and eager to tell our stories to one another – and as Christians to tell our stories in perspective with His story." - Apostles Life Group |
"Our marriages have strengthened as we have been on our journey together. We have each grown individually in our walk with the Lord as a result of encouragement received by participating in the group. The majority of our service has been to the church in form of clean-up labor, helping with Meals-on-Wheels, and occasional cooking for Wednesdays." - Holy Hands Life Group |
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up." - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
