LifeGroups
A powerful expression of biblical community.
This is a setting in which people connect with a small group of friends who are mutually committed to caring for one another, growing in their faith, and impacting others for the cause of Christ. We invite you to find a group of friends that live near you so you can join them in “sharing life together.”
How to use these questions
During this difficult time, please use these discussion questions to help lean on God and discover how we can work through these issues together.
Even while in your home, you can use them for personal reflection, family discussion time or even go through them with friends on the phone or on Facetime.
If you have questions, feel free to email Pastor John: john@community.cc
