Life Groups

Life groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Life groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.

A life group is an intentional gathering of people where you can connect with others on a regular basis who  share your interests,  who are at a similar stage in life, or who have experience in an area where you would like coaching.

It is through doing life together that our problems become smaller and God uses others to bring healing, support and encouragement to our lives—whether we realize we need it or not. Your life group will quickly become a place where others don’t just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life.

Leading a life group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a place to connect. Hosting a group is simple—choose a topic that interests you and select a time and location to meet with others to share it. We give you essential tools to make your life group successful through Leadership Training and a directory where you can register your group so others can find it easily. We believe people’s lives are changed one semester at a time by moving one step toward Christ, and as a life group leader you get to play an important role in that process.


FALL LIFE GROUPS WILL START ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2024

Please register your life group if you already know what group you want to lead. If you have not already attended training, make plans to attend our Leadership Training where you will be equipped to lead well. If you don’t know what group you want to lead yet, take a look at our recommended curriculum or connect with our life groups team.

You’ve probably seen life groups meeting and not even realized it. A life group looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a life group is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in life groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life giving conversation and request prayer.

Our life groups meet for three semesters a year—winter/spring, summer, and fall. During the semester, most groups meet once a week. Life groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life so even if you can’t attend every, single meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.

Life groups meet in places like homes, parks, restaurants, coffee shops and office buildings. The leader of the group selects a meeting spot that best fits the purpose of the group. Life groups happen throughout city of San Antonio area.

Most life groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.

The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in life groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!
