About LifeGroups
Connect in Community
Lifegroups are a key aspect of our church community. These groups of 5-12 people meet throughout our community on a weekly or bi-weekly basis - at homes, coffee shops, or in the church building - to discuss that week's Life Connection or topic of their choice, pray together, build meaningful relationships, and share life together.

FAQs
What exactly is a LifeGroup?
LifeGroups create a space for people to intentionally build relationships, support each other through the ups and downs of life, and grow spiritually together. A LifeGroup Leader determines how often their group meets and what the focus of the group is. LifeGroups gather in homes, parks, public spaces, or even in the church building.
How big are LifeGroups?
LifeGroups are typically 5-12 people including the leaders, depending on available space where the group is hosted.
What actually happens in a LifeGroup?
Every LifeGroup is unique. Some discuss last Sunday's Life Connection, some work through a book or bible study. Some groups may eat dinner together, others may do another activity (pickleball, board games, etc) as well as have discussion. Two things you’ll find in every LifeGroup, though, are relationships and conversations that help people grow in their faith.
How do I join a LifeGroup?
First, give yourself a high five for taking the step to join a LifeGroup! Here are two easy ways to get connected:
- Find a LifeGroup near you or one that meets digitally using our online LifeGroups search tool.
- Talk to someone you know who leads a LifeGroup and ask if their group is open to new members.

When do LifeGroups start and end?
LifeGroup start and end dates are determined by the leader! Each group will meet on its own schedule, and can run at any time of the year, though most groups tend to run in some form from end of September through April.
What if the group I picked isn't a fit?
There is no such thing as a perfect group, but if you find that the LifeGroup you joined truly is not a good fit, try another group! Leaders won't take offense - they understand that people need to find the best place for them to belong.
If you can't find a group at all, it might be a sign that God is calling you to start a group! If God’s placed a certain passion or calling within you, He might want you to take a step of faith and launch a LifeGroup around it. You won’t have to do this alone, though. Your LifeGroup Support Leader team is here to support you every step of the way.
How do I start a LifeGroup?
Starting a group is an awesome step! You can fill out this form and then our LifeGroup Staff Lead will be in touch to help you prepare to lead your group. Then you can invite people to your group and start meeting!
What if I don't feel qualified to lead a LifeGroup?
Don't worry - you don't have to be a Bible scholar to lead a LifeGroup! A group leader's responsibility is to build relationships and keep discussion on track, not teach. Plus, in addition to initial training and ongoing leadership development, you will be connected to a LifeGroup Support Leader who will answer questions, encourage you, and be there for support.
