Real Life Groups are a way to help all of us find a place where we can grow up in our Christian faith. God doesn't want any of us to walk alone-we need each other-and RLGs are a place where we can do that. They are a place where we can experience community, be encouraged in God's grace, engage God's word and live out our faith. They are a safe place where we can be real with others.
Real Life Groups consist of 8-12 people in a group, meet weekly in someone's home for ten weeks. Ten week sessions give people a chance to make a commitment that is less intimidating. And, it makes it easier for people to get into-or out of-a group. We call them "on-ramps" and "off-ramps." If some people in the group need to take a break, or if people need to find a different group, they can, without guilt. In fact, some people may need to try a couple of groups before they find the one that is "just right" for them.
RLGs are "sermon-based;" which means that during their meeting each group will spend time "digging deeper" into the Scripture passage from Sunday's sermon. There will be questions that you can download from the homepage on our website which will be used in the meetings. There will also be time for prayer and sharing during each meeting. We want to be people who are committed to prayer and praying for one another.
