lifegroups

What is a lifegroup?
A lifegroup is a small group of people who meet regularly to encourage one another in their journey towards Christ. The group strengthens each member through prayer, encouragement, and a vision for those who do not yet know Christ. Groups are purposed for edification (building one another up) and mission (bringing Christ to your community).

Why should I join a lifegroup?
We consider lifegroups to be one of the most important ways to experience connection and community at NewSong. Through a lifegroup, you are able to learn about the faces you meet on Sunday and share in your spiritual journey with others—encouraging one another as you live, learn, grow and reach out to others. God doesn't want any of us to be left to walk alone.

When, where and how long do these groups meet?
lifegroups meet on various days and nights of the week in homes throughout the community. Some groups meet every week and others meet twice a month. Individuals and groups have the freedom to determine how long they stay in a lifegroup and how long the group lasts.

What about childcare?
We leave it up to each group to work out their own childcare. Some groups look to include children in part or all of the meeting, while other groups prefer to not have children at their meetings. Some groups rotate the care of the children between group members and others hire someone to care for the children.

What will we study?
Most groups base their discussions on the previous weekend's sermon. The group meeting provides an opportunity to discuss how the sermon works out in real life. Other groups choose to study different curriculum based on group interest.

How do I sign up?
Joining a Taste of Community Group is a great way to explore becoming part of a lifegroup. Or you may decide to start a group. If you'd like to explore bringing some people together to form a new group, please click the "Interested in Starting a life group?" link and contact Newsong. A third option is to pick up the current list of lifegroups and try out various groups until you find the right fit.
