LIFE Groups provide key nurturing environments for adults at Mission Hills Church to find deeper fellowship in a small group setting and to study and apply God's Word to their personal lives.

Two LIFE Group formats are currently offered:

  • Sermon-Based Groups which meet weekly or bi-weekly
  • Truth Project Groups following a fixed 13-week curriculum by Focus on the Family

New groups are being formed regularly to meet the needs of those wanting to participate.  It is the vision of Mission Hills Church for every family to be connected and meeting regularly in a small group setting.

MORE ABOUT LIFE GROUPS

We believe spiritual growth flows out of two basic commitments:

  • A commitment to God and His Holy Word, the Bible
  • A commitment to significant Christian relationships

LIFE Groups exist to help develop these spiritual disciplines.

Sermon-based curriculum is prepared by Pastor Mike Romberger and his staff and is available through this link on the LIFE Group site.  This curriculum is designed for the LIFE Group to go deeper into the section of scripture and to find application in your daily lives.  The audio content of each week's sermon is also available.

The Truth Project is a Focus on the Family sponsored DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett.  Each lesson discusses, in great detail, the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.  More information on this curriculum is provided on the following link: Truth Project Teaser.



TYPICAL LIFE GROUP FORMAT

SHARE
Each week we will take time to share what is happening in our lives.  Soon, the group will experience deeper relationship and trust among its members and will share at deeper levels.

STUDY
Each week we will study a section from God's Word that relates to the previous weekend's sermon.  Discussion will go deeper into the topic and help apply the lesson to real life.

SUPPORT
Each week we will learn how to take care of one another as Christ commanded (John 15:9-13.)  This care will include listening, prayer, encouragement, and personal accountability.

SERVE
Spiritual growth is fostered not only by what we gain through the support and input of others, but also through service to others.  The role each of us fills is important to the health of the church and for us to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the community in which we live.  (Ephesians 4:11-16)  Through your experiences in a LIFE Group it is our hope that you will experience transformed lives and will find and/or be affirmed in the ways God has designed you to serve and make a difference in God's Kingdom.
