WHY LIFE GROUPS?

Because life is better together.

We weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone. Groups are where church starts to feel like home. They’re a place to be known, encouraged, and supported.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together... but encouraging one another.”

Hebrews 10:24–25 (NIV)

New to Life Groups?

Here are some things you may be wondering:

What happens in a Life Group?

Life Groups are small groups where people connect with others, often in similar seasons of life, study the Bible, pray, and encourage one another through everyday life. They are a place to grow in faith and build relationships together.

What if I’m new to church or don’t know much about the Bible?

You don’t have to know the Bible, have a church background, or have all the answers. Life Groups are a place to learn, ask questions, and grow with others. Come visit a group and see what they are about.

Can I just visit a Life Group?

Yes. You can visit a group without making a commitment. Every group is a little different, and it is okay to try other groups until you find the right fit.

What should I wear?

Come as you are. You will find people in t-shirts and shorts, jeans, suits, dresses, and everything in between.

What about my children?

We love families at Highland! Nursery and children’s groups are available for all ages during Sunday morning Life Groups. Your children will have a safe, welcoming place to learn, grow, and connect while you enjoy time with your Life Group.
