Christian Life Church - Small Groups

Do you want to ‘plug in’ to the Christian Life Church a bit more? Have you been wondering where you can go and meet new people in a smaller setting and discover a deeper sense of connection to the church? Then consider joining a Connect Small Group!

Connect Small Groups provide an opportunity for people to make friends, grow in their faith and do life together in a smaller setting than our main services. They are informal, friendly and supportive, providing an ideal setting in which to meet new people.

“And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ." —Acts 5:42 (KJV)

Purpose Statement

To provide every person in Christian Life Church the opportunity to experience the warmth of connection and the spiritual growth produced by real community.

Why Do We Need Small Groups?

Everyone needs a safe place to be known and know others. Believers are a part of a spiritual family called the Body of Christ, or the Church. Every member of this family needs care, nurture, challenge, guidance, and prayer, not to mention an environment in which to ask questions and share struggles without the fear of judgment.

The phrase “one another” is found over 50 times in the Bible. Scripture challenges us to love one another, pray for one another, encourage one another, forgive one another, and stimulate one another to love and good deeds. The small group cultivates an environment where these “one another” realities can be experienced in real life.

Benefits from being a part of a Connect Small Group:

Meaningful Friendships
Spiritual Growth
Opportunities to Serve
Changed Lives
