LifeGroupsWhat if taking one small step could significantly impact and improve your life? What if that one step moved you closer to an intimate relationship with God and strengthened your relationship with others?
When you become involved in a LifeGroup, you take one important step that makes a lasting impact.
Maybe you're a young adult, seeking to understand who God is and discover His plan for your life. Perhaps you're a married couple, longing to deepen your knowledge of God's Word and apply it to your everyday lives. Or, you could possibly be like so many in the body of Christ, looking for opportunities to build meaningful friendships and get connected.
LifeGroups is the place where involvement and impact intersects.
Change Happens Here!
LifeGroups, our Discipleship Ministry, is designed with you in mind. We understand the pressure life brings and we want to provide you with the tools you need to stay spiritually healthy in today's world. LifeGroups will equip you to become all God wants you to be. God's heart is for us to grow in truth and be shaped by His Word. He promises to reveal Himself to us and give us the answers we need to life's everyday struggles as we study His Word. His Word is our Life Manual and our knowledge of His Word makes the difference between living in confusion and defeat or living in peace and victory. Through LifeGroups, we can develop our understanding of God's Word and learn how to apply spiritual truths in practical, life-changing ways. We can also mature in our walk with God and improve our relationships with others.
I want to personally invite you to take one important step: Be a part of a LifeGroup today! Your involvement and lasting impact intersect in one place: LifeGroups. See you there!
