Want to join a smaller group of people within the Journey community?
Our Life Groups are unique blends of people who journey, love, and learn together to become more like Jesus. In Life Groups, people talk through life issues, eat together, pray together, study God’s Word together, laugh together, struggle together, and serve others as we are transformed by the grace of God in our lives.
Life Groups are typically comprised of 8-12 people who meet on a regular basis in members’ homes throughout the community. Our Life Groups intentionally care for those within the group and always try to reach those who are not yet connected. These groups serve as a vital means for discipleship.
Why should I join a Life Group?
Getting connected at Journey means participating in both the Sunday gathering and a small group. Sundays are a time for celebrating in worship of Jesus together, hearing the preaching of the Word, and sharing in Communion. Life Groups are the place where the seeds of the preached Word take root and become real. They are the place where we build relationships with one another and living life together. As well, it is within the groups within the neighborhoods of the city that we can participate in the work that God has called us to as a church. Our Life Groups provide an opportunity to Love God, Love People, and Serve the World in unique ways.
Small Groups are Jesus' model for discipleship by:
•Developing meaningful relationships.
•Growing in faith and the personal application of God's word.
•Shepherding people and ministering to their needs.
•Holding each other accountable to the work and grace of God in our lives.
Jesus modeled for us the importance of a small group when He met with the twelve disciples. Small groups are an essential part of Christian growth. People will be best brought to wholeness and maturity within an atmosphere of honest and open relationships. This best occurs when men and women commit to meeting regularly with each other in their homes.
Getting connected to a Life Group is your first step in moving from being an anonymous church-goer to being discovered in a discipleship relationship with other believers...
