We believe God created us to live in community with others and only then can we experience the full life He intends for us. (Genesis 2:18, Galatians 6:2)
About Life Groups
We believe life change (finding freedom) happens in the context of relationships. Meaningful relationships can be hard to find, and Life Groups exist to make life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you and to the people around you.
What does Life Group look like?
The groups are small gatherings of people doing life together. It involves various activities including prayer, praise, fun at the park, lunch meetings, bowling, and other fun fellowship and faith-filled activities.
How often does the Life Group meet?
Three semesters a year—spring (Feb-May), summer (June-July) and fall (Sept – Dec). Most groups meet once a week, though some meet biweekly. It is ok if you cannot attend every meeting. You will still benefit from joining a group. The semester format allows you to join more than one group each year. New members are always welcome to the groups.
Where do the Life Groups meet?
The groups meet any place people get together, such as at homes, parks, restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, and office buildings. Some life groups also meet at the church, while others meet online.

Do I have to sign up at the beginning of the kickoff or can I join at any time?
The groups have an open-door policy during each season, so you can join anytime.
What if I don’t like the first group I try?
It is very common for people to stay with their groups for a long period of time. However not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. That is okay too. Try a few groups until you find the best one for you. Don’t give up. We want you to have a sense of belonging here at Open Fire.
