2025 Winter GROUPS
The Philosophy of Life Groups
Life Groups (LG) serve as a weekly gathering of 10 to 12 individuals for the purpose of caring for one another, growing spiritually, contributing to the ministry of the church, and connecting in authentic relationships. The best pace to make disciples is within the intimacy and trust of a Life Group.
In Life Groups, newcomers can form relationships, discover gifts, meet needs, heal hurts, kindle hope and build faith. Life Groups provide the infrastructure for Christians to grow, be nurtured, develop leadership, and extend the kingdom of God.
Here at New Life Fellowship, we're a church of Life Groups, not simply a church with Life Groups
