Life Groups are a perfect way to connect, grow, and serve! We were created for community. Groups provide opportunities for relationships to take root and grow.  Groups gather together based on shared interests, a desire to study the Bible, or even to discuss one of the latest Sunday Messages.  So, whether you are looking for fellowship or a deep dive into discipleship, we desire to provide a group for you.  Browse through the current groups and sign up for the one that interests you.  These groups will run more than once!  And new groups will be added as this ministry grows!  We hope you will join us as we connect, grow and serve together!

​Don't see one that interests you right now?  We'd love to hear your ideas, as we are always looking to add more!
Do you desire to lead, or be a host home of, a Living Hope Life Group?  All it takes is a willing heart, a little planning, and a desire to serve others by providing an opportunity to connect.   It can be as simple as a gathering for coffee and conversation, or as deep as an online, or in person, curriculum based Bible Study.   The possibilities are endless. Let us know of your interest by filling out the form below, and tell us how you see yourself engaging.

Connect with us and let's support, encourage, and remind each other who we are in Christ, while we do this mommy thing together.   We are the village!  Redefining Mom meets the first Saturday of every month in various locations, from coffee shops to playgrounds.  Bring the kids along!Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 6th!  *Kid friendly. Mommy approved!

We want to help!  The word says in John 10:10 "The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I (Jesus) have come that you might have life, and have it abundantly. This is God's promise to every one of us.  James 5:16 &  Galatians 6:2 shows that there is power in community, strength in connection, and accountability when we come together. Join us every Sunday evening @ 5:00 as we walk through the step program and what it is truly like to live free!

MEALS THAT HEAL: Do you enjoy cooking for others? Do you have a desire to serve those in need during times of crisis?  This group will be the call team just for that and will serve on an "as needed" basis. We believe that providing meals to help lift the load for families walking through the death of a loved one, or those coping with a family member experiencing an extended hospital stay, or whatever need arises, brings hope and healing to their hearts.
This 10 week study will walk you through scripture to help you develop a deeper, more meaningful and more effective prayer life. You will walk away with a great knowledge of what prayer really is, how to approach God's throne, pray the Word, develop intimacy in worship, spiritual warfare and more.   
This group will help you dig deep, reflect, evaluate, and with God's help, remove every obstacle to intimacy with Him and walk in true freedom! In this 13 week course, this group will focus on 6 areas of personal growth: Living in the "Tree of Life", Walking in the Spirit, Surrendering to Jesus, Speaking Words of Life, Becoming a Vessel God can use, and Living as a Worshipper.

Or maybe it's all of the above.  This 9 session study has helped over 4 million people learn to set healthy, Biblical boundaries with their spouse, friends, family's, co-workers, and even themselves!  Kick off meeting will be Monday, May 1st at the church!  Materials will be needed for this course.
