Life Groups

The best way to get connected at LifeSpring is by joining one of our Life Groups. We meet in locations all across the city in homes, coffee shops, and workplaces for a time of fun, relationship, Bible study, and prayer.

A Life Group is 4 to 12 people gathering in a leader’s home or at a designated Life Group room at the church building on a weekly basis to share food, fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. Life Groups exist to accomplish two vital goals of the Kingdom. First, to edify believers by connecting them on a more intimate level and helping them to become more like Jesus. The second goal is to evangelize by offering another venue besides the regular church service that may be initially less intimidating to seekers and those interested in finding out more about Jesus.

When you attend a Life Group, you can expect a warm time of fellowship, food, Bible study, and prayer. Life Groups are open to Christians and those who are seeking or investigating Jesus and His message. Long-term trust and relationships are nurtured, and loving support and accountability as followers of Jesus are cultivated on an ongoing basis.

Each group is responsible for providing their own childcare.  Some practical suggestions regarding childcare can include parents chipping in together to hire a babysitter either at the place they meet or at a nearby home. Each group can decide how to handle this issue in the most appropriate way for their group.

Yes! There are Life Groups that contain both singles and married couples together. We encourage this mixture so that singles can experience healthy, Christ-like examples of real married life. It is also an opportunity for married couples to support and understand the challenges and values of a single lifestyle.

Life Groups can meet almost any day and time of the week. Most of them meet on evenings or weekends, although there are some that meet during the day. While most groups meet in a consistent location (the home of a leader or group member), some groups prefer to take turns meeting in different members’ homes. There are also rooms at the church campus that can be reserved for regular Life Group meetings.

Life Groups meet weekly throughout most of the year. We understand that life can be busy but we believe that meeting together with fellow believers on a consistent and frequent basis is important and is worth taking the time on our calendars. We encourage at least a weekly meeting and ask that no Life Group meet less than
bi-weekly.

Each Life Group picks the length of time they will meet. However, most groups meet for two to three hours to accommodate a time of fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.

Though each group differs in how they do things, many groups enjoy a time of food and fellowship, in the beginning, then they transition to a time when they share in Bible study and pray for each other. Each group decides how much time they will spend on fellowship, Bible study sharing, and prayer.

Each Life Group will have a structured study that revolves around God’s Word. Examples of a structured study are things like:
Life Group questions provided with the weekly messages at LifeSpring
A chapter-by-chapter study of one book of the Bible
A One-Year Bible study
Sermons or Sermon Series by Respected Teachers / Preachers
A Bible-based Christian book
DVD  or Right Now Media Series (Beth Moore, Francis Chan, Focus on the Family, etc.)

Whatever curriculum is chosen, the primary time and discussion should revolve around each person sharing “What God is Teaching Me” from Scripture.
