LIFEgroups


Student LIFEgroup

9 and 10:30 AM Sundays, 3rd Floor

We have LIFEgroups for students to connect in community with other students their age. At 9 am, there is a LIFEgroup for grades 6th - 12th. And at 10:30 am, for those who prefer a more intimate small group experience, there is a Middle School & High School LIFEgroup. At both hours, students first gather in room 300 for a ten-minute hang time with coffee & donuts, and then for what we call The Sunday share. We have had professional athletes, state champions, poets, and people from our church share how they are living out their faith. We offer both hours to better serve our families and to ensure everybody has the opportunity to b both in a LIFEgroup and in worship with their family every Sunday morning.

Please enter the building at the East entrance or from the lobby. A Red banner will indicate the student entrance.


Student LIFEgroup

John

Current Teaching

We utilize "Explore the Bible" curriculum on Sunday mornings because we want students to do just that - explore The Bible! Our LIFEgroup time is dynamic and purposeful in helping your student make their faith their own. This winter, we are studying the gospel of John. Each student who comes to LIFEgroup is equipped with a daily discipleship guide, and trained how to to use it. If your student faithfully attends LIFEGroup & Sunday Night Studentz from 6th - 12th grade, they will be able to say they have READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE BIBLE by the time they graduate! .

SHARE YOUR FAITH


LI6W-App

LIFE IN 6 WORDS APP

An app to help you share the Gospel

Based on the popular YouTube video Life in 6 Words, this interactive, engaging, faith-sharing tool provides you with a bridge for naturally initiating spiritual conversations. Use it to walk someone through a clear, visually compelling explanation of the gospel and invite them to put their trust in Jesus.

With the all-new app, not only can you use the conversation slides to walk someone through the gospel, you can now create an account to:

  • Add friends to your Cause Circle
  • Schedule Prayer Reminders
  • Create and Join Groups (see activity and stats on gospel sharing)
  • Watch videos on the G.O.S.P.E.L.
  • Send your Friend their Six Words
  • Create an Audio Story, record and send to a friend
  • Get notifications and reminders
Share the six words of the GOSPEL—God, Our, Sins, Paying, Everyone, Life—with your friends and family to help them clearly understand Jesus’ invitation to trust in Him.
