Join an Equipping Class!

Equipping classes are designed to provide Christ-followers with biblical, theological, and practical ministry training. The goal is to equip disciples of Jesus with the knowledge, skills, and character needed to love God supremely, one another humbly, and the world sacrificially.

*Some classes may involve personal study and homework in preparation for weekly discussion and teaching times.

About LIFE Groups

Why should I join a LIFE Group?

We feel that LIFE Groups are an important part of church ministry. They’re the place where ongoing fellowship occurs as we study God’s Word while supporting and sharing our lives with one another. We believe that meeting together on a regular basis is time well spent. Our goal is to have everyone “doing life” together in a LIFE Group.

A Biblical example for LIFE Groups

Turn to Acts 2:42-47 in the Bible to help answer this question.

“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer…Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, “

They met in the temple for corporate worship and teaching, but they also met from house to house as they practiced hospitality. Four attributes describe their priorities and how they devoted their time together:

- - Apostles’ Teaching (Study of Scripture)
  - Fellowship (Encouragement in Faith)
  - Breaking Bread (Sharing of Meals)
  - Prayer (Dependence on God)

How Do I Choose a LIFE Group

We are pleased to offer several different Life Groups for all ages and stages. They are available both on our church campus and at homes within our community, on Sundays and throughout the week.

Review the Life Group listing and choose a group either studying the material you’d like to learn or in a place and time that works for your schedule. We suggest contacting the Life Group Leader before visiting them for the first time, to let them know you’ll be joining them and to confirm their schedule for that week.

Lastly, you’re also welcome to contact the church office (818.776.1500) and we’ll be happy to assist you in choosing just the right group for you!

When do LIFE Groups meet?

Our desire is to have LIFE Groups meet in homes throughout the week, with 1-2 hour gatherings once or twice a month. The emphasis of these groups includes a study of God’s Word, practical application, prayer, and fellowship. We want these groups to provide an opportunity for further “one another” care, encouragement in personal evangelism, and support for neighborhood outreach events.

How do I contact a LIFE Group leader?

Click on a group and hit the “Ask to Join” button. An email will automatically be sent to the LIFE Group leader and they will get back to you just as soon as possible.

Are there groups for different stages of life?

We’d love to help connect you to a group that is right for you. Stop by the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings or contact the church office.

Is this your first time attending a group that is meeting on a weekday?
