LIFEgroups are TerraNova’s groups of 8-16 people who get together to learn about the Bible, grow, and enjoy each other. They are SMALL groups that have a BIG impact. And here’s why:
We weren't made to do life in isolation. God created us to depend on one another and to carry each other’s burdens, and lately life has been full of burdens for so many people. Anxiety, fear, and change can push us to withdraw from people even more, which is why being in a group could be one of the very best things you could do for yourself as this current year wraps up. It’s also one of the best things you can do for the people around you. “Showing up” for others is a core practice of group life, where we enter into the blessing of making a difference in the lives of other people. We all have our story, and that story will matter for the people in your group!
Are your ready, then? Fall LIFEgroups begin in October and last through early December (depending on the group). So, it’s a short-term commitment! While we offer a wide variety of groups, each will be the same in that they will be based on connecting, studying the scriptures, and praying for one another.
Many of our groups will be connecting around discussing and applying the TerraNova weekend messages. In addition to the small group discussion, group members will extend their learnings into the week with a five-day devotional guide.
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO NEXT: Check out the listing of Fall LIFEgroups below, and select the group you’d like to participate in. Then fill out the simple online sign-up form. Need help or coaching on a group that will be a “best fit” for you? Contact Lyle at lyle.c@ourterranova.com.
