LifeGroups can best be described using the letters C. R. O. S. S.
C Closed Groups of defined length. LifeGroups will last for 10 weeks
with 3 sessions a year. You will be asked to make a commitment to the LifeGroup for the full 10 week session when you sign-up. Once the session begins the LifeGroup will be closed to new members until the next session.
R Relationship Focused. Obedience is not about knowledge, it is about
proximity, and proximity is all about relationships. We obey God because of our relationship with Him, not because of what we know about Him.
Our relationship with God will grow when we have relationships with others who share the same goals.
O Offsite. LifeGroups meet offsite in our friend’s homes. It is important
that LifeGroups meet in a comfortable setting. A setting where we see, feel, and live in every day, allows us to share and be a part of each other’s lives.
S Sermon Based. Have you ever walked away from a church service
thinking, “I’d sure like to explore that a little more”? We live in a hectic, fast paced world that only allows us so many meetings, appointments or commitments. Sermon based LifeGroups allow for discussion about topics that relate to each of us and does not require another time commitment.
Sermon based does not mean that we just rehash the weekend’s sermon. Rather, it offers further exploration of the topics that were discussed in the weekend’s service.
S Small Group. At Calvary, we believe that life change happens best in
the context of a small group. Healthy relationships are built on trust and trust comes more easily in a small group setting. LifeGroups will be made up of only a certain number of participants: 7 couples for a couples group, 8 individuals for a men’s or women’s group, or 14 people overall for a
mixed group, couples and individuals. As we build trust, we grow together
in our relationship with others and God.
