LIFE GROUPS

HOW DO THEY FUNCTION?
Life Groups are intentional efforts to provide those interested with the opportunity to experience organic, relational discipleship using patterns modeled by Jesus with His disciples. Each life group will have the freedom to find a rhythm that will allow members to pray for and encourage one another, to hear God speak through His Word, and respond in obedience, and to create opportunities to form new disciples.
