Life Groups

In the midst of all that is happening in our city, nation, and world, we want you to know, you are not alone.

Life Groups (small groups) are a fundamental aspect of assisting our community in their growth in Christ. Life Groups approach this by cultivating a safe place where each person can take the next step in their walk of faith. We believe that this is best done in small gatherings of people with the opportunity to bond.

If you would like to start a group using Zoom or in-person, contact Ja’Mell Agustin at jagustin@nbccbayarea.com.

Ja’Mell would also be happy to answer any questions you have concerning Life Groups.

Characteristics of Life Groups

Groups of 6-12 people

Groups meet regularly — usually meet once a week or every other week

‍

All Groups Include:

fellowship — to help make connections that will last
sharing — often about how God is challenging each of us to respond to the Sunday message; in order to encourage personal growth
prayer — in order to support spiritual growth
acts of loving service — to demonstrate God’s love for the world

‍

Two Types of Life Groups

Neighborhood Life Groups meet with others from the same neighborhood or online. These groups are open to everyone (i.e., – varied ages, marital status etc.). Folks primarily to study the Sunday message.

Stage and Interest Life Groups gather in-person or online around specific areas of life stages or interests. We have Life Groups for Men, Women, Young Adults, Married Couples, Parents with Children, Singles, and Spanish speaking. We are developing new groups for Chinese speakers.
