Are you ready to take your next step
into a more fully-alive life?

Are you hungry for some practical insights to help make that happen?

That’s where LIFE GROUPS come in.

THE VISION:
A LIFE Group is to help form Christ in you
so you can live the fully-alive LIFE in Jesus
and help others to do the same.

This isn't meant to be another thing...
it's meant to help you with the One Thing.

The Bible is one Story made up of several writings that were meant to be read in community with others. There's a reason for this… as hard as we may try to live in our own power and opinions, we all bump into the need for others who can help us reconnect with what's really going on in our lives.

Jesus created His Church to be just that, and LIFE Groups are one core way we are attempting to put it all together. Every LIFE Group will be a bit different than another - some will dig into the Bible in raw ways while others will use curriculum and topics to help them jab at it from a specific angle or theme. Either way, we end up forming encouraging friendships around the truths of God, allowing even those friendships to begin forming us in encouraging ways.

Some life groups include:

Bible-themed
Digging into a book or person of the Bible
(i.e. Abraham, Ruth/Esther, Galatians, etc.).

Curriculum-themed
Using a book and study guide to grow in an aspect of living out your Christianity
(i.e. Christian parenting, addressing the supernatural, attitude issues, freedom from the past, marriage matters, talking about Jesus, etc)

Theology-themed
Growing in a greater understanding of
"how to think about how you think about"
core theological matters
(i.e. Triune God, salvation, end times, etc)

Video-themed
Using a piece of video to prompt spiritual conversation (i.e. a Christian video series like Nooma, pop culture or movie clips, etc)

When and where do LIFE Groups meet?
LIFE Groups meet on various days and times all throughout the community. When a leader/facilitator announces the group, a sign up will happen in our weekend gatherings to help determine the best gathering time for those interested.

What will we do in a LIFE Group?
Every few months we will begin a new semester for LIFE Groups with several suggested options for participants to choose from. While some groups may opt for more of a biblical study, others may choose to engage over topical issues that explore
practical issues from a godly perspective. This will be announced in our Sunday services.

What about childcare?
We leave it up to each family to work out their own childcare. Sometimes it works best for families to share a sitter or to swap childcare with another family whose group meets on a different evening or time. Another idea is to have a babysitter at the host home that all the parents chip in on.

If you have been around Connection Church for a while or are looking for a way to become more relationally connected, LIFE Groups can help you transition from observer to participant.
