Life is better when we share it.

Life Groups are our small group strategy designed to facilitate meaningful connections to help people grow in their relationship with God, by growing in community alongside fellow believers.

Life Groups are a safe, inspiring and transformative space where people can rapidly grow in connection and confidence as they contribute to open discussions centred around faith, scripture and life experiences. Life Groups provide a great space to experience belonging and pastoral support as well as presenting us with the very real opportunity to “encourage and build one another up in the Lord.” (1 Thes 5:11) and “carry each others burdens.” (Gal 6:2). In Jesus, we work out our real-world faith together; sharpening one another as “iron sharpens iron” (Prov 27:17). In fellowship we can champion, challenge, care for one another.

Life Groups are typically hosted in the homes of the Life Group Leaders; it can also be normal practice for members of a Life Group to take turns hosting in their homes too. Furthermore, there is nothing stopping a Life Group meeting outside of a home environment, as long as the setting is conducive to the purpose of meeting. For example, a room at church or in a local cafe.

Life Groups gather bi-weekly in the 2nd and 4th weeks of each calendar month with sessions running for 1.5 hours (2 hours max).

The ideal number of people to a Life Group is between 8-12 members. This number makes way for dynamic conversation where every one can be heard, everyone can contribute and everyone can be cared for.

Our current Life Groups have been together for an average of two years and we are overjoyed by the many examples of people growing in faith, connection with their church family and experiences of God over this time. New Life Groups will now facilitate new connections and conversations for those already established in Springs Church whilst creating space for new people to engage in this key discipleship opportunity.
