What are Life Groups?

A Life Group is a small, informal gathering of people who commit to regularly meeting together for the purpose of continually growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ and with each other.  

Why should I join one?  

Jesus taught in Matthew 22 that the greatest commandment is to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" and the second is to "love your neighbor as yourself." A Life Group is a tool that God uses to develop these relationships with Him and our neighbors.

What happens at group meetings?  

There are four basic activities that comprise the typical Life Group and each of these activities is a necessary component of the process of spiritual growth.

Relationship Building  

The Christian life is not intended to be one of isolation, but rather is to be lived in and supported by relationships with others. Life Groups provide the ability to develop relationships with a small group of people meeting with a common purpose and commitment.

Bible Study  

The Bible instructs us how we can know and serve God better and provides the blueprint for spiritual growth. Within the setting of a Life Group we learn to apply biblical teachings to our everyday lives.

Prayer

Humbling ourselves before God in prayer evidences our dependence upon him. Answered prayer affirms and builds our faith. By praying as a group we are inviting God into our presence and focusing on our relationship with him.

Outreach

Jesus Christ modeled a life of service toward those around him. Life Groups allow each of us to use our gifts to serve each other and our community. Through this effort we can provide an inviting place for newcomers to experience the Real Life Christian Church.

How often do Life Groups meet?

Our groups meet weekly for 1.5 to 2 hours and are open to all adults. Most also have an option for childcare.
