- If you'd like to visit one of our life groups you can use our find
a life group link to look up a group online. At Life Church we support
different types of life groups and their meeting materials and meeting formats
vary. Our most common type of life group, the holistic life group, uses
the material and the meeting format below:

Group Material
Some life groups (especially holistic ones) will want to use material from
our Sunday sermons as the basis for their discussion of the Word during their
weekly meetings. For the convenience of our members we usually include discussion
material with the notes for our sermons. You can read the sermon notes and
discussion material (as well as listen to the sermons) at the following link:
Sunday Life Page (Life Church sermons)
Not all life groups will choose to use this material, but it's there if
you need it.

Group Meeting Format (for holistic life groups)
- Welcome - 15 minutes
- Spend about 15 minutes in casual conversation and/or an ice
breaker activity that helps people relax and join in. Remember to start the welcome part of
the meeting on time — you don't have to wait for everyone to arrive.
Please also end the welcome part of the meeting on time — you can move
on to worship even if everyone hasn't arrived yet!
You can find ice breakers on our Ice
Breaker Page.
-
- Worship - 20 minutes
- Spend about 20 minutes giving God well deserved praise.
- Word - 40 minutes
- Work together on personally applying scripture to your lives. Your life group
leaders may use the sample discussion questions above for this or they may
take a different approach. Spend about 40 minutes — leave
enough time for the "Witnessing" section!
- Witnessing - 15 minutes
- Select something from the Witnessing Activities section below. Spend about 15 minutes — end on time!
Please note that your life group meeting faciliator may switch around the order of the "4 W's" every now and then.
