lifegroups
While our corporate gatherings are a crucial part of discipleship, LifeGroups offer a more intimate way for people to grow deeper in relationships, allowing God to do a transforming work in their lives. Within these communities you will discover the pastoral presence of the church, an opportunity to know and be known, and a part of Life Church you might just come to call family.
Each LifeGroup gathering will involve a few things: food around the table, intentional times of prayer, reading and applying of scripture, and plenty of space for all ages, which means childcare will be provided at each LifeGroup gathering. Our goal for Lifegroup engagement is committed and consistent life together, so we invite you to make this a priority in your schedule.
