Life Groups
We’re better together.
God designed us to live in community — to be known, supported, and encouraged. Life Groups are where we walk through life together, grow in our faith, and build meaningful friendships.
No matter your age, background, or season of life, there’s a place for you to belong. Whether you’re exploring your faith, looking for connection, or ready to take the next step in your spiritual journey, Life Groups are where real life change happens.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:17
Belong Together
Step Into Community
Life Groups are where faith and friendships grow together. In a group, you’ll explore Scripture, pray, encourage one another, and share life’s ups and downs. No matter your stage of faith, this is a place to belong, be supported, and grow alongside others.
Find Your Life Group
Life Groups meet throughout the week in homes, coffee shops, and even online. Each one is unique in its rhythm and focus, but they all share one goal: helping people grow in Christ and do life together.
No matter your age, background, or season of life, there’s a Life Group for you. These smaller gatherings are where friendships form, faith deepens, and support becomes real. It’s where you can show up as you are, find encouragement, and walk alongside others who want to grow in their relationship with God.
Think of Life Groups as more than a meeting — they’re a place to belong, to be known, and to become who God created you to be.
As part of a Life Group, you’ll:
-
Build authentic relationships that encourage spiritual growth
-
Learn and apply God’s Word together
-
Pray for one another and find support through life’s ups and downs
-
Have fun and make lasting memories
Life Groups come in many forms, but each one is rooted in connection and community.
Lead a Life Group
Leading a Life Group is simpler than you think. You don’t need to be a pastor or teacher — just someone with a heart to connect people and help them grow.
Think about what you’re already passionate about — studying the Bible, hiking, cooking, serving your community — and invite others to join you. Relationships grow naturally, and discipleship follows.
As a Life Group Leader, you’ll:
-
Create a welcoming environment where people can belong
-
Encourage spiritual growth and conversation
-
Help others take their next step in faith
We’ll provide all the training, tools, and ongoing support you need to lead confidently.
You don’t need to be perfect to lead — you just need to be willing.
Requirements:
Completion of the Start Here classes is required before leading a group. Once completed, you can apply to join our Build Team and begin your Life Group leadership journey.

What is a Life Group?
A Life Group is a small community of people who meet regularly to grow in faith, build relationships, and support each other in everyday life. Each group has its own focus — from Bible study and prayer to shared interests or life stages — but all groups are about doing life together in Christ.
Who can join a Life Group?
Anyone! No matter your age, background, or stage of faith, there’s a place for you. Life Groups are open to anyone who wants to belong, grow, and connect with others.
Can I join more than one group?
Yes! Some people join multiple Life Groups depending on their schedule, interests, or life stage.
How do I become a Life Group leader?
If you feel called to lead a Life Group, you’ll need to complete our Start Here classes. From there, you can apply to our Build Team, and we’ll provide all the tools, training, and support you need to lead with confidence.
What if I want to start a new group?
