WHAT ARE LIFE GROUPS?
A Life Group is an intentional gathering of people where you can connect with others on a regular basis who share your interests, who are at a similar stage in life, or who have experience in an area where you would like coaching.
WHY DO LIFE GROUPS EXIST?
Life Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design. Life Groups exist to make life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN A LIFE GROUP?
It is through doing life together that our problems become smaller and God uses others to bring healing, support and encouragement to our lives. Your Life Group will quickly become a place where others don’t just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Use our Life Groups directory to find the group that is right for you. You can search groups by topic, location or time. We recommend selecting a few groups that interest you before deciding on the best one. Contact the leaders to get more info, and make plans to try it out in person!

Interested in growing deeper? Join a Freedom group.
During a 12-week Life Groups semester, Freedom Groups gather weekly to discuss the Freedom Group curriculum, which is designed to equip you to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give you. This group will help you remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom.

You’ve probably seen Life Groups meeting and not even realized it. A Life Group looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a Life Group is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in Life Groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life giving conversation and request prayer.

Our Life Groups meet for two semesters a year—winter/spring and fall. During the semester, most groups meet once a week. Life Groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every single meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.
-
Life Groups meet in places like homes, parks, restaurants, coffee shops and office buildings. The leader of the group selects a meeting spot that best fits the purpose of the group. Life Groups happen throughout the city of Houston, including several groups that meet on Wednesday nights at a Life Church campus.

Most Life Groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.

Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.

The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in Life Groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!
