LIFE Small Groups

L.I.F.E. Groups (Small Group Ministry)

Are the main discipleship arm of the church where people connect relationally through Bible study, worship, fellowship and the sharing of common interests for the purpose of growing to be more like Christ, loving one another, contributing and developing ministry gifts, and evangelizing the lost.

L.I.F.E. Groups are based on four principles:

Learning together (discipleship)

Including all who come (relationship)

Finding others who need to know (evangelism)

Emerging for ministry (service)
