A:Life Groups are small group communities where learning, interaction, friendship, and encouragement take place.  This fall, we will be offering four types of Life Groups.

• Connections groups -- Doing Life together, Sharing testimonies, going over previous weeks sermon, accepting each other and learning to love, accept, and build strong relationships thru Christ with each other.
• Formation groups -- Main focus will be LEARNING.  It may be studying a book of the Bible and learning how to articulate what you have learned.  Getting deeper into the WORD and being able to develop some relationships with others.
• Service groups -- groups focused on service to others.
• Discussion Groups -- Most will be based on a particular book with questions, and lively discussion.

A:You show up, share food and and hang out for about 20 minutes.  Then explore the topic or focus of your groups choosing.  The group might watch a  DVD or read a book  reading together, then discuss what they have watched or read.   Notice we said discussed.  Leaders facilitate conversation, but do not teach or preach!  It isn’t a bunch of theological jargon or church that only a few can understand, it is discussion about real life and everyone has an opportunity to contribute.  It is for everyone at every point in their journey.  Groups usually end with a time of prayer, then people hang out for a little while and go home.
