Small Groups at Risen King

At Risen King, we say that a disciple is a Christ-follower who is in community with other Christ-followers who together are fulfilling the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. A key way that most people at Risen King experience this kind of community is in one of our LifeGroups.

LifeGroups are circles of friends (usually 6-15 people) who covenant to help one another grow to be more like Christ.  They encourage and hold each other accountable in the areas of transformation (our character becoming more like Jesus’), mission (purposefully engaging with people who don’t yet know Jesus), and service (using spiritual gifts to build up the church).

When a LifeGroup meets together, they usually share refreshments of some kind, have an interactive discussion or study, and spend time praying for and ministering to one another.  Since these are covenanted groups, group members know they will see the same people from week to week – and they know they will be missed if they aren’t there.  Of course, the LifeGroup isn’t about just going to a meeting - the relationships that are built go beyond the 90 minutes a week that the group is together.

GroupLink

How to connect with a LifeGroup at Risen King

One of our main starting points for participating in a LifeGroup is to attend a GroupLink event.  GroupLinks include food, a more thorough overview of what LifeGroups are all about, and the chance for new leaders and prospective participants to meet and get to know one another.  Attending a GroupLink doesn’t obligate you to be in a LifeGroup, but it will help you understand LifeGroups better and, if you’re interested, find one that’s right for you.
