What is a Group?
Groups are the heartbeat of LIFE where large services on a Sunday are paired with authentic connection during the week. At LIFE, we have 3 focuses of Groups:
Spiritual friends
People whose company you enjoy as you follow Jesus together.
Sharing Sacred Moments
When you gather, sacred moments are fostered via meals, conversation, exploring the Bible or praying together.
For a Divine Purpose
A unique purpose that extends beyond the members, this might include serving in a LIFE Community Kitchen or simply praying for friends who need God to step into their lives.
How do I join a Group?

What is it like to be in a Group?
Hear what some Group members have to say below:
Bruno
I don’t feel judged, I feel I’m among genuine men, not pretenders. People share about their everyday day wins and struggles. While we seek God’s guidance and his will and plan for our lives. It’s a highlight for me every fortnight.
Anna
I love group, because it’s a great way to connect with other young adults, mid-week, when life is happening, works busy and you just want to have some good, genuine conversations and laughs, with a great group of people! It’s been awesome getting involved in group and I’ve really enjoyed the discussions we’ve had about Jesus and the Bible.
Brigitta
What I enjoy about being part of our Business Group is everyone is willing to help each other. The diversity in the group makes it entertaining. We have trust in each other and everyone can share their stories and successes. I like that everyone is respectful and willing to help you succeed.
Rosana
We have gone through so many studies since the start of this Group. One of my favourites is the “Armor of God” by Priscilla Shirer. Group has not only helped me learn more about the Bible and grow in my relationship with Jesus but it’s also kept me going, knowing that there’s a group of God fearing women I can confidently turn to for prayers when I hit various obstacles in life. The cool thing is God has always come through every single time I hit up my ladies for prayers.
Nick
For me, Groups are the ideal place to build closer connections which in turn follows onto a more personal exchange. This allows me to be supportive in difficult situations as well as being supported when there is need in my life. No doubt I love the social connection, as well and just having fun with like-minded people. I would highly recommend getting involved.
FAQs
Every Group is unique. Some discuss the weekend message or do a Bible Study together, some serve together in the community, and some play board games or paddleboard once a month. Two things you’ll find in every Group, though, are relationships and conversations that help people grow in their faith.
Yes, we encourage you to check out a few groups to find the right fit for you. Don’t feel bad if you don’t choose the first one you visit, just let the leaders know when you get in contact that you are trying a few groups to find the right one for you.
