The Vision for Life Groups
While welcome, hospitality, and fellowship do occur on a Sunday morning, the primary place for folks to know and be known at Christ Church is in smaller home-based gatherings. Life Groups are one of the ways the church facilitates this.
At Christ Church we encourage seeking life groups in your immediate vicinity. This regional, geographic approach is for the following three reasons, all stemming from the life and ministry of Jesus:
Particularity
Christ takes on flesh in a particular place and remains there his whole life. His ministry was local. As Eugene Peterson says it in his paraphrase of John 1:14: “The Word of God took on flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood.”
Place-Making
Place matters. Scripture concerns itself with placemaking from Genesis to Revelation. It begins with God making a particular and local place, the Garden of Eden. It ends with a particular place descending from heaven to earth, the New Jerusalem.
Mission
God providentially places us for ministry as his ambassadors of reconciliation in the places where we live, work, and go to school. We want to reach out and serve our neighbors, proclaiming the gospel in our neighborhoods through word and deed.
How to Get Involved
Here are some of the options for how you can join a Life Group at Christ Church, or at least visit one, in your neighborhood.
Reach Out to Us
The easiest way you can get connected is to click below and fill out the interest form. We can let you know what Life Groups are in your area.
Church Center
We use Planning Center Groups (accessible via the Church Center App) for Life Group communication. Click the button below to check out what Life Groups are near you.
Ask a friend
If you have already connected with someone at Christ Church, ask them which Life Group they attend and visit with them. Or, if they aren’t apart of a Life Group yet, y’all can both do one of the first two options!
Planting a New Life Group
We are currently looking to grow new Life Groups. If you don't see one in your area, or there are several that are full, or, there isn't a time that works for your schedule, please feel free to reach out using the form below if you are interested in helping plant a new Life Group. *Please note, this does not mean you must be the Host of a new life group—you could also help as an Admin, or pass on responsibility as we find other people interested in starting a new one in your area.*
