A Life Group is a small gathering (between 6 to 12 people) that meets on a regular basis to ‘do life’ together. It is an effective way for everyone to feel personally connected to the church community and to learn and grow our faith in an intimate and supportive environment. Each group is unique but a typical meeting lasts approximately 90 minutes and will include the following:
WELCOME (15 – 20 minutes)
Person to person. A time to meet new people and interact. Snacks and refreshments are often served at this time.
WORSHIP (10 minutes)
Us to God. A time of singing, reading a passage from the Bible that praises God or taking time as a group to thank God for His help in the past week.
WORD (30 – 40 minutes)
God to us. This is NOT the group leader teaching or preaching to the group. It is a time where we read the Bible together and everyone shares their thoughts or asks questions. The group leader facilitates this discussion time and keeps it on track and on time.
WORK (15 – 20 minutes)
God through us. This is a time where we share our prayer requests and pray for each other. It is also a time of sharing the vision for upcoming events, needs in the group, and any changes to the group.
