We believe that Life Groups are a crucial part of a healthy walk with the Lord. God never intended for us to do life alone! He has hardwired us to be in community. Life Groups allow you to know others and be known, love others and be loved. Learn how we do life together, how we are intentionally being formed into Christ-likeness, and how we are living on mission together.
Life Groups are also a vital link in “Helping people connect to God and to each other in every neighborhood,” our long-standing mission statement. Our hope is that little communities will spring up in every neighborhood – opening their Bibles, praying together, and sharing meals.
