Two words best describe a Life Group—fun and fellowship. It is a gathering of people like you who desire to grow in  faith and  relationships with others. It is designed to be focused on having fun, enjoying fellowship, contributing to a short discussion on a relevant topic, outreach, and providing a space for prayer. It is not a church service, extended prayer gathering, or other ministry event that would normally occur within a formal church meeting.  

Life Groups will meet every Thursday from 7 PM to 8 PM for an eight-week semester. They will meet at the facilitator's home or designated gathering place.

Yes, depending on your group and facilitator, children can attend. In some cases, a Life Group may provide someone to watch the kids while the adults enjoy the experience. This will be determined on a group-by-group basis. It is encouraged that you provide childcare on your own and not depend on the Life Group to do so.

Every group will discuss the same topic. The pastoral staff will decide on these to ensure they are aligned with CHP's Statement of Beliefs. The topic might be from a book, a sermon series, or another resource and will be used to guide the Life Group discussion.

Absolutely. One purpose of Life Groups is outreach and service. One of the eight gatherings will be an intentional time to serve in the community. A list of places will be provided to your facilitator, and you and your group can determine where to serve that week.

Facilitators are volunteer couples whose primary function is to open their home for fellowship and guide the brief discussion. Their role is not to teach or preach but to ensure everyone is engaged and feels welcomed. They are not professional counselors or pastors.
