What is a Life Group?
A Life Group is much more than just a meeting. It is an opportunity to have transparent relationships with others and an opportunity to grow closer in your relationship with Christ. It is a chance to encourage people to encounter God and each other on a very “real and personal” level. Consider it an opportunity to “live life” with others.
Where do Life Groups meet?
Life Groups meet once a week outside the church building. Most often they gather in homes, but they can meet in restaurants, parks, or other public or private meeting areas.

A Life Group usually consists of 8 to 15 people. Of course, they can be smaller or larger in number. The number for each Life Group is determined by the group host/leader.
