Life Groups

What are Life Groups?

Life Groups are a small group of people who get together each week in a relaxed, informal and caring enviroment.

Each Life Group spends time in fellowship, prayer, encouragment and Bible study.

What are Group Links?

Group Link is an event that takes place a few weeks before the start of each Life Group session. It’s a continental breakfast that gives you the opportunity to learn about Life Groups and meet other people who are interested. During the breakfast, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, meet the Life Group leaders and learn about each study. Registration for Life Groups starts during the GROUP LINK.

Why Attend a Life Group?

Real fellowship as seen in the New Testament is more than simply socializing with other Christians or greeting them in services of the church. Real fellowship is the sharing of the believer’s life as a Christian with other believers.

The purpose of our Life Groups are to cultivate a Christian community of caring people by:

  • Connecting with God through Bible study and prayer
  • Encouraging one another to stay in step with God
  • Cultivating relationships in which love is paramount
  • Encouraging one another through regularly praying for each other
  • Helping one another by ministering in specific, practical ways

“Someone Like YOU”

The Life of Elijah – by Dr. David Jeremiah

It is easy to think of biblical heroes like Elijah in
super-human terms — especially when he had the ability to call down fire from
heaven. But in James 5:17, we read that Elijah in particular “was a man
with a nature like ours.” He performed incredible miracles exhibiting the
power of God, while he himself exhibited ordinary, human characteristics. In
other words, he was someone like you! Dr. David Jeremiah examines the ministry
of Elijah in the Someone Like You study guide, showing us how Elijah
continuously followed the leading of the Lord in his life. Through this study,
be amazed at how much you have in common with the prophet Elijah and be ready
for God’s leading in your own life.
