Success at LifePoint is defined by how effectively our ministries move
people from our large environments into small groups. Our desire is that everyone who
calls LifePoint home will be connected to a small group for growth,
ministry, connection, and fun. Community at
LifePoint is at its best when people gather together in small groups to
live, as we call it, life-on-life.
At LifePoint, the small group is
the best place for sustained life change to occur. In a small group,
people study God's Word together and discuss the issues and challenges
of life. It's also where they pray, care for one another, and are
missed if they don't show up.
Small groups, what are they?
They
are made up of five to six couples or five to eight individuals and are
the place where people are personally encouraged and challenged in
their relationship with God and each other. Small Group life is a group
of people seeking authentic, Christ-centered community through
discipleship and service. If you have more questions, read the
Top 10 Questions about Small Groups.

Connect to Others through Small Groups

know it can be difficult to move from a large gathering like
Sunday worship and take the step of making a commitment to a small group of people. And
