Lifegroups
Lifegroup FAQ's
| What is a Lifegroup? A Lifegroup is a home fellowship made up of 4-16 people who meet weekly to share, study and support one another. A trained leader and host lead each group. An average meeting lasts for an hour and a half. |
How Important are Lifegroups? Here at Lifestone Church, Lifegroups are the hub of our ministry. They're the place where the real ministry of the church takes place as we study God's Word, while supporting and sharing our lives with one another. We believe that meeting together on a regular basis is time well spent. Our goal is to have at least 80% of our adults involved on a weekly basis. |
| What is the required commitment? Joining a Lifegroup requires a 10 to 12 week commitment to attend weekly meetings and do the homework ahead of time. Obviously, allowances are made for sickness, vacation, work conflicts and other special events, but not much more. This commitment is the key to a strong Lifegroup. You have the first three weeks to attend the group to make sure it's a good fit for you. At the end you have the choice to join the same group, try a different group, or take a break. |
What will we study? Most of the studies are based on the previous weekend's message. These "sermon-based" Lifegroups are built on what we call a "Lecture-Lab" model. Imagine the weekend message as a lecture on Christian living, and the Lifegroup as a lab where you get to roll up your sleeves and discuss how the weekend's message works in real life. Each week there will be a series of Bible passages and questions on the back of the sermon note sheet to study before the meeting. It will usually take 15 to 30 minutes per week to complete the homework. |
What about childcare?
Lifegroups are for adults only. (Exceptions can be
made for nursing newborns, up to nine months.)
We leave it up to each family to work out their own childcare.
Sometimes it works best for families to share a sitter or to swap childcare
with another family whose Lifegroup meets on a different evening.
