WHAT IS A LIFEGROUP?

A LifeGroup is a group of people that meet to connect, share an interest, study biblicalteachings, support one another, and have fun! At FLC, we put our LifeGroups intospecific categories—Interest Groups (interests & hobbies), Life Enrichment Groups(teaching and Bible study), Support & Recovery Groups, and Impact Teams (service teams that keep everything going).

WHERE AND WHEN DO LIFEGROUPS MEET?

LifeGroups meet at different places on various days or nights during the week andon the weekends. Several LifeGroups meet at The Now Center, while others meet inhomes, or in other locations throughout Central Ohio.

WHY ARE LIFEGROUPS IMPORTANT?

We believe that connecting with one another is vital for our spiritual lives, andLifeGroups are a great way to do that. Our desire is that everyone would be involved in a LifeGroup.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A LIFEGROUP?

Some people choose a LifeGroup based on hobbies, or a desire to be with people intheir same life situation, or because they want to learn or try something new. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call the church office and we will gladly assist you. And, remember, you don’t have to choose just one! Feel free to get involved in as many LifeGroups as you’d like.

HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR A LIFEGROUP?

Once you find a group (or a few groups) that you’re interested in, feel free to contact the leader directly using the information listed with the group.

WHAT IF I WANT TO JOIN A CLASS THAT HAS ALREADY STARTED?

It’s never too late to join most LifeGroups. Check with the leader of that group to see about jumping in.

WHAT ABOUT CHILDCARE?

Childcare is provided on a case-by-case basis. Ask your LifeGroup leader for the specifics for your particular group.

HOW DO I BECOME A LIFEGROUP LEADER?

You can become a LifeGroup leader by completing an application, providing personalreferences, and completing a background check. All Life Enrichment Groups must alsosubmit outlines and materials for approval. Following approval, all leaders are requiredto attend a training session to get equipped for the upcoming session.
