Common Questions
1What happens at a life group meeting?
You’ve probably seen life groups meeting and not even realized it. A small group looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a life group is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in life groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life-giving conversation and request prayer.
2How often does a life group meet?
Our life groups meet for three semesters a year (winter/spring, summer and fall). During the semester, most groups meet biweekly. Life groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.
3Where do life groups meet?
Life groups meet in places like homes, parks, restaurants, coffee shops and office buildings. The leader of the group selects a meeting spot that best fits the purpose of the group. Life groups happen throughout North Dallas with the largest availability in the Allen & McKinney areas.
4How long does a typical life group stay together?
Most life groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.
5Is there childcare available?
Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.
6What if I don’t like the first group I try?
The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple of different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy for finding success in life groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!
