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!

Raising Kids is no joke but we have found that community and support from people of like-minds is pure gold. Join us as we go through Andy & Sandra Stanley’s newest book called Parenting Getting It Right. This book is based on their experience as parents and how to lead as you parent vs react. It will be a great study and time to get to know other families as we walk through this together. The book can be ordered on Amazon and is about $25.
Each week we will gather with our littles. There will be toys and activities for the littles to do while us moms will connect, laugh, and share about the joys and struggles of motherhood. We’ll take time to encourage each other and share how we can keep eyes on Jesus in the midst of the ebbs and flows of life.
Share your life stories with us. Together we will look at the life story of Jesus Christ as it is told in God's Word, and over time, our life stories begin to look and sound a lot more like Jesus' life story.
