What are LifeGroups?
A LifeGroup is a small gathering (between 6 to 15 people) that meets on a regular basis to ‘do life’ together. LifeGroups are an effective way for everyone to feel personally connected to the church community and to learn and grow our faith in a supportive and encouraging environment. LifeGroups help to make a big church feel small.
Why are Life Groups so Important?
We meet the preached-about, Bible-informed version of God in rows on Sunday. But we meet a much more personal version of God in the circles of a small group. Faith changes from a noun into a verb—and God changes from a nice-to-have into a need-to-have—as life group members get involved in one another’s lives.
All of the things God uses to grow our faith are experienced or encouraged in the context of a life group. God uses other people to grow us. And he uses us to grow other people.
The potential of a life group is best reached when that group puts hands and feet to the faith they talk about each week—when they bring casseroles after babies, share couches for crashing, and speak wisdom before bad decisions. Those things don’t happen in rows on Sunday morning.
Each LifeGroup has it’s own day and time that it meets. Hopefully, we will have one that fits your schedule. If you would like to be involved in a LifeGroup or would like more information, please call Pastor Zack at 330-505-1155 or email him at zpotter@gracelives.com.
