Join A Life Group
What a Life Group is NOT!
A CLUB.
A Life Group exists to glorify God and make disciples. Different groups find varied ways of doing that.
A CLIQUE.
Life Groups are meant to always be open to newcomers.
An ORGANIZATION.
A Life Group is a living organism. It is a distinctive part of the body of Christ.
ONE DAY A WEEK.
A Life Group is more than just a meeting. The members of the group share life together as a family. The meeting is family-reunion time. The rest of the week, group members naturally pastor one another – visiting, making phone calls, having dinner together, serving together, shopping together, etc. In truly life-changing groups, members meet together regularly and spontaneously.
A CLASSROOM.
Life Groups practice Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom.” The group leader is more shepherd than teacher. He is not the group’s answer man.
A ONE-MAN SHOW.
Life Groups are teams where everyone has a role.
Just a BIBLE STUDY.
Life Groups study God’s Word with an eye to apply it to our everyday lives. “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up” (1 Corinthians 8:1). “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:22). Life Groups should do “Bible do’s” as much as Bible study!
A THERAPY GROUP.
Members of Life Groups care for one another, but they are not meant to turn into psychoanalysis sessions. When a member has a need, the group responds with care and prayer . . . period! They do not offer advice unless it is asked for. They come alongside the hurting person to say, “We’re going to go through this together.”
A BAND OF RENEGADES.
Each group is interconnected with other groups and with the overall mission and ministry of the church. Leaders receive support and training. They are accountable to leadership to keep things on track. The group is an integral part of the whole body of Christ.
