LIFEGROUPS AT CALOUNDRA

Life Groups are a place to eat together, have fun, build friendships and grow in our faith. Each group looks a little different, but a typical gathering includes time to catch up, share life together, pray for one another and talk through the previous Sunday’s sermon.

Rather than simply repeating what was preached, we make space to ask questions, talk honestly about what encouraged or challenged us, and consider how God’s Word applies to our lives. We want to think about what it looks like to live out what we are learning, both personally and together as a Christian community.

And Life Group is about more than the meeting itself. Many of the friendships formed in our groups continue throughout the week, as people share meals, spend time together, support one another and genuinely do life together.

Life Groups are for everyone who calls Life Centre Church home or is beginning to make LCC their church community. They are not just for young adults, singles, married couples or families. Our groups include people from different ages, backgrounds and stages of life, all seeking to follow Jesus together.

If you have children, that does not mean Life Groups are off the table. Many of our groups include families who bring their kids along, and each group works that out in a way that suits the people who are part of it.

Because every Life Group has its own mix of people, personality and rhythm, one of the best ways to find the right group is to speak with one of our Life Group leaders on a Sunday at church. They can tell you a little more about their group, who comes along and what a typical gathering looks like.

You do not need to have everything figured out, know everyone, or have been at LCC for a long time. Life Groups are simply a place to get connected, build genuine relationships and grow in following Jesus alongside others.

Not at all. At Life Groups, we know that everyone is at a different place in their journey of faith. Some people have been following Jesus for most of their lives, some are new Christians, and others may still be exploring what faith in Jesus looks like.

Because of that, there is no expectation that everyone will participate in the same way. Some people are comfortable praying out loud, reading the Bible or sharing openly with the group, while others may prefer to listen and take things in, especially when they first come along.

There is no pressure or obligation to pray out loud, read aloud or answer every question. You are welcome to participate at a level you feel comfortable with.

Our hope is that Life Groups are a safe and encouraging place where we can all grow together, get to know Jesus more deeply, and take the next step in our faith, wherever we might be starting from.

Please let us know. Our church community is spread right across the Sunshine Coast, and we would love to see a Life Group available for everyone who wants to be part of one.

If there is not currently a group near you, or travelling to an existing group is too difficult, get in touch with us. There may be other people in your area who are also looking for a Life Group.

We are always looking for opportunities to start new groups, so hearing from you helps us know where there may be a need and where a new Life Group could begin.
