facilitate a small group

Small Groups are a big deal at City Life Church. It’s easy to come to church on Sunday morning, yet live completely anonymously. It’s our hope that each person that comes to our church would live in community, and Small Groups are how we make that happen. People are a huge part of our faith journey, and we know there are some great people here to connect with. There’s a group for everyone, and we hope you’ll join one today!

Why Should I Lead?

“Lead” is a word that may be a bit intimidating to some. Really, the one thing that we’re asking for our leaders to do is care about people. If you’ve made it this far, and you’re curious about what it means to lead, the chances are really good that this is well within your capacity. Can you care for and encourage people? Then this is for you! We’ll do everything we can to resource you, help you, and make sure that this is a great experience for you, too. This is your chance to make a tangible difference in people’s lives!

how small groups happen?

Our Small groups are interest based, so what are you interested in? We like to say that “Your life is your group.” Take something that you’re already doing, already enjoy, and make that your group. That might be hiking, working out, playing games, prayer, a study on a book of the Bible, a specific discussion topic, or simply hanging out. You’re going to attract people to your group that others can’t, and others will attract people that you can’t. We want our groups to be diverse, so we can connect as many people as possible.

Our Small Groups are semester based. We do that for two reasons. The first is so that there are easy on and off ramps for people who are wanting to connect to a group. They don’t feel like they’re stuck in a group for life, but they also don’t feel like exclusive groups that are impossible to break in to. The second reason is so that our leaders can rest. Many people don’t have a problem committing to leading a group for 10-12 weeks, but leading for a full year can seem like a bit of a daunting task. We want our leaders to be refreshed in those breaks between semesters!

What Do I Need to Host a Small Group?

Great question! It really depends on what you’d like to do. Again, our groups are diverse so if you’re hosting a group that gathers based around a hobby, you’d need whatever that hobby requires. If your group is focused on fellowship, then probably a place to meet. If you’re doing a specific study or curriculum, then you’d need that resource. There’s even a chance that we could purchase that curriculum for your group. All that to say, we don’t “require” you to use anything specific.

We are a fellowship Life Group. We change it up by being serious at times with thought inspiring spiritual life questions and other weeks we do fun activities and games. We are going to meet bi-weekly (limited space) in person and Zoom meetings on the weeks we are not meeting in person, (all participants). We look forward to doing life together with you this semester.

In this 13-session study on the Book of Haggai, learn to walk confidently in your calling, stay motivated despite opposition, and courageously invest your life in God’s purposes, trusting Him for results you may never see in this lifetime. God’s presence and promises give us courage to press on and trust Him with our story.

Mother Teresa said, “The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.” There are times in life where we feel alone. We struggle and crave connection. God created us to connect with Him.  Despite what our feelings may tell us, God’s presence is much nearer than we think. In this Life Group, we will be reading and discussing the book of John with the support of Max Lucado’s book and videos called You are Never Alone. The aim is to look through the miracles of Jesus that John writes about to remind us of the close presence and power of God. Participants are encouraged to get the book You Are Never Alone, but not required.

HOW WILL THEY HAPPEN?

There are four different types of  Life Groups you can lead. 1) Sunday service focused in person (enjoy the service together and then discuss afterwards) 2) Sunday service focused online (online discussion after the service) 3) Hybrid Sunday service focused of both online and in person 4) Free Market (based on hobby, interest, life stage, bible study etc)
