About Life Groups
The Church at the Grace Centre meets every Sunday for worship, each Friday evening for
Healing and Revival meetings, and then at various times during the week in Life Groups.
What are Life Groups?
Life groups help to build relationships between people in church, and to introduce friends or those
who do not yet know Christ, meeting together outside of church, in the daytime or an evening during
the week.
Life Groups offer a relaxed setting where we can support and care for each other, give and
receive life, and know a deeper reality of God transforming our lives. There is scope within the
Life Groups for:
Leadership training
Impartation of the Holy Spirit
Fellowship and Evangelism
What is their purpose?
To share Christ through life's experiences. Ted Haggard said "Everything God has
done in our lives is unproven until it is refined and demonstrated in the
midst of relationships." The Life Groups offered by the church at the ARC
(Apostolic Resource Centre) give the ideal opportunity for successful Christian
living in increased measures and is the place where we can know discipleship
through life experiences. Life Group Leaders offer a wide range of groups
with varying themes, relevant to seeing the flow of life increase throughout
the whole church, through deeper encounters and experiences with the Holy
Spirit, and providing a practical setting for the outworking of our Christian
life.
When do they meet?
The Life Groups run for three terms over the year: Autumn, Spring and Summer.
They last an average of 10 weeks and may be developed further or start new themes each term.
They take place at a variety of venues from cinemas, churches, homes and the streets!
How do I join?
'Sign-up' evenings, at the start of each term, offer the chance for people to
see which groups are running and spend time with the leaders to hear an
exciting overview of their up-coming group. Everyone can then make their
choice as to which group to join for that term.
As we look forward to another series of Life Groups, we pray that John 7 v 37 may again be true!
"Out of our innermost being will flow rivers of living water." |
