Life Groups
Winter 2011
Recognizing that relationships thrive in an environment of intimate connection, common experience, and genuine sharing, our small groups—or Life Groups, as we call them—provide a way for people to plug in to the larger community of Anderson Hills, and to know and be known by others.
A Life Groups is small in number, no more than 12 to 14 per group. While our culture encourages isolation, the Bible reminds us that we need each other. We place tremendous value on community living. We believe that as we put our energies together, we become more than the sum of our parts. We become positioned to do the very thing Jesus commanded us, to grow in our capacity to love and to invest in the lives of others.
Life Groups at Anderson Hills serve as a place for friendship, pastoral support, expression of the gifts, and leadership development—just to mention a few of their many purposes. Our Young Family groups have really taken off and have planned retreats for their groups and have even had "friendly" competitive outings. They are having a blast!
Because none of us is sufficient on our own, we desire everyone to live in community. Supported by mutual prayer, the study of Scripture, and the wisdom and compassion of those making similar journeys, our daily challenges come into perspective.Relationship, meeting needs, putting faith into action, and serving beyond ourselves is the hallmark of a Life Group.
Anderson Hills has over 30 groups that meet in homes in our community or at church. These groups utilize our Homepage for daily Bible reading and group discussion. The Homepage follows the weekly sermon series and supports our Faith 5 Family Ministry program. This way we are all growing deeper spiritually, together. If you want to become a Life Group leader or get connected with one of our small groups, please contact Amy Tomlinson Director of Discipleship 231-4172.
Join a small group community and find the fit for you.
