What Are Life Connect Groups?

Life Connect Groups: The Life Connect  Groups range in size from 6 to about 17 people. They provide an opportunity to build friendships with others while studying the word of God together.  Some Life Connect Groups meet at the church, and others meet in homes. Sometimes videos are used in the class and can be watched on your computer, smart phone, or smart tv on the internet through Right Now Media. All participants will be given a free Right Now Media Account.  Life Connect  Groups meet at various times and in various locations.  Our goal is to reproduce our groups, so if you would like to have a group meet in your home, we can send a lay pastor to guide you for six weeks, and then allow you to continue to lead the group in the future.   Each six week study will consist of various topics depending on the time and location. There is a two week break in between series. Some adjustments are made for holiday schedules.. A person does not have to attend our church to be a part of a Life Connect Group.  You may join a group in  the middle of a session if you like.

The Gospel Of John With Tony Evans Led by Sylvia Fields 

Where do you turn when the world around you grows dark? In this study of the Gospel of John, Dr. Tony Evans encourages us to turn to Christ by reminding us of the two purposes for the beloved disciple’s book—that we would believe in Jesus and find life in his name. Despite what our culture may argue, there is only one hope that is truly trustworthy and that is our savior, Jesus Christ. So join Tony for this twelve-session series that will draw you back to the essential truths of our faith and the life found in our king.

The Book Of James  With Francis Chan Led By Latanya Deane

True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.

Francis Chan unpacks the dense truth contained in the book of James in front of the iconic backdrop of San Francisco, the city where he lives and ministers. Through 6 sessions, Francis works through James verse-by-verse, challenging followers of Christ to move beyond a private, intellectual knowledge of God and His Word, to a vibrant faith that impacts every square inch of life.

Dealing With The Stress In Life  Led By Pastor Rick Gillespie-Mobley

Family conflict, disagreements with friends, pressure on the job, health problems, and overdue bills—stress fills every corner of life. Though we may be able to reduce the amount we are facing, we can never completely eliminate stress from our lives. But where can we find help for dealing with the stress we face? The most reliable source is God. The Bible uses such words as trials, suffering, troubles, conflict, and pressure to describe stress. This lesson will help you understand the biblical perspective on stress. You will learn that God uses stress to strengthen your character and to demonstrate his power by helping you handle the pressure.

XII: 1st, 2nd, & 3rd John with Dr. Tony Evans  Led By Felicia Earl

Comfortable Christianity often means a weak Christianity. In this study on John’s three letters, Dr. Tony Evans challenges Christians who have grown comfortable and complacent in their faith. Fellowship with God is the essence of our faith, and Tony walks through 1, 2 & 3 John to paint a picture of love, obedience, and truth. In a world that hates Jesus, we are called to love Him and His people with a fierce love.
