WANT TO JOIN A LIFE GROUP?
Our LIFE GROUPS are designed to help people GROW in their faith. They gather together to study the Bible in order to live it out and lead others to do the same. They also serve together each semester throughout the community. We have Stage of Life groups as well as men's and women's groups available. Life Groups meet during the Spring and Fall semesters for 8-10 weeks and then in the summer for 4 weeks.
Groups kicked off on September 14th, but some groups still have spots available! If you’re still interested in joining one or have questions, please click the link below.
Our Life Groups study the same book of the Bible that's taught during Sunday morning gatherings. This fall our series is “Unshakeable” - a walk through 1 Corinthians, and is 10 weeks long.

If you're just beginning your walk with Jesus, this group is a great place to start. Here you will study the foundations of what it means to follow Jesus and establish some spiritual rhythms to continue growing. This group will be working through the Rooted study.

FAQs
What Curriculum Do Life Groups Use?
Life Groups use the Anchor Series Life Group Book, written by our Faith Life staff. Each book takes us through a book of the Bible and connects directly with the Sunday teaching series, so what you learn on Sunday flows right into your group discussions during the week.
Why Does It Cost Money?
The Life Group books cost money to produce, and we simply make them available at cost. We charge to cover expenses and help everyone feel invested in the journey together.
Where Do Life Groups Meet?
Life Groups meet all over our community: in homes, coffee shops, restaurants, and right here at Hope City. There’s a group in a setting that will work for you!
Are There Groups That Have Childcare?
Yes! Some groups provide childcare. When you register, just look for the groups marked “childcare provided.”
