Join a LifeGroup

We believe God’s best plan for Christians to grow is meeting together regularly to encourage each other to live out what it looks like to make and be fully devoted followers of Jesus. While every group follows a different rhythm, you can expect to experience these things as you invest in community:

Authentic relationship
Prayer
Bible study (often processing the sermon series)
Live out the mission of God together

Just as much as you will grow in a LifeGroup, your fellow LifeGroup members will be encouraged in their faith as you invest in them and contribute your gifts.

Starting the week of May 5, short-term LifeGroups will be leaning into the gospel of Mark for 8 weeks. This is a great opportunity to try out a LifeGroup for the first time! Learn more about them below and sign up for one that interests you. If none of them fit your needs, click on the “Need Help Finding a Group?” button below.

With the Bible at our fingertips, we have a story of God’s faithfulness right in front of us to show us one example after another of who God is. In this six-session study, we want to walk you through some of the promises and covenants God made with his people to understand more of the story of God and the big picture of his unfailing love for us.

Joe Farr

Men

Topic: The Book of Titus
Meets on: Thursdays, 6:30pm-8:00pm
Start Date: January 25
Location: Grace McKean
Childcare: Yes, with sign up.

In this Book of the Bible series, Chip Ingram unpacks the book of Titus. He challenges us to display the gospel in our lives through doing good. We do good works not to earn God’s favor, but as a result of God’s favor. When the gospel has truly taken root in our lives, it produces the fruit of godliness. As we pass these things on to future generations, the Church stands in bright contrast to the darkness of the world.

Grace Harborcreek
Childcare: Yes, with sign up

"In The Waiting": This 6-week life group is for single/unmarried Christian men and women who find themselves in a season they did not expect to be in. Singleness is so much more than just the possibility of waiting for a spouse.

Megan Cadden

Women

Topic: Warrior Women
Meets on: Mondays, 6:30pm-8:00pm
Start Date: January 22
Location: Grace Harborcreek
Childcare: Yes, with sign up.

God desires each of his children to follow his call. But sometimes the battles we fight for God’s kingdom defy our expectations, leading us to trust him more deeply. A faithful warrior for Christ will choose obedience over personal glory, humility instead of pride, and truth spoken with grace. In this 6 session series with Bianca Juárez Olthoff, explore the story of Deborah, Barak, and Jael and discover what being a warrior for God looks like.

Having a firm foundation for faith is an essential starting place for everyone to grow as a fully devoted follower of Jesus. This 8 week LifeGroup will go over the core theological beliefs and encourage the development of daily chair time studying the Bible.

Catherine Pugliese and Meg Crisman

Women

Topic: Free of Me
Meets on: Tuesdays, 6:30pm-8:00pm
Start Date: January 23
Location: Grace Harborcreek
Childcare: No

We live in a culture that's all about self, becoming the best “me” I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. In these 6 weeks, Sharon Hodde Miller invites us into a bigger, Jesus-centered vision—one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more. Based on her book Free of Me, this study unveils our deepest insecurities and equips us to focus on God and others instead of ourselves. Discover a purpose bigger than “project me” and experience freedom from the burden of self-focus.
