For practically living out Authentic Christianity, L.I.F.E. groups are perhaps the most important gatherings on the church calendar.
On a regular basis, small groups of New Life people (15-25) are meeting in homes around our city. The makeup of the groups are generally based on similar demographics (e.g. college students, young couples, families with children, families with teens, “empty nesters,” etc.), and meet at various locations and times. They are led by pairs of men who are chosen, trained, and shepherded by the pastors.
A typical meeting follows the agenda of Prayer, Care, Share. This consists of praying for one another and lost friends, planning and discussion opportunities to serve people in and outside of the group, and sharing the Scriptures with one another through various means. The acronym L.I.F.E. reminds us that the purpose of the group is Loving others, Interceding for others, Fellowshipping with one another, and Evangelism. Accordingly, the most important L.I.F.E. Group activities are those that occur outside the regular meeting.
Any questions regarding L.I.F.E. Groups, including current groups meeting, can be sent to Pastor Ray at ray@newlifecr.com.
