There are a number of ways you can connect with God and the people at Branch Life Church. One of the best ways is through our community groups that meet throughout the week in members’ homes.

These are informal, friendly gatherings that allow us to build community and develop lasting friendships. At our small groups you will have time to just hang out and be yourself, while discussing parts of the Bible and praying together.

PURPOSE

• Application of God’s word to our lives. Merely hearing God’s word is insufficient; we must apply it to our lives for there to be fruit. Community Groups enable us to do this together. We seek to apply the Bible’s teaching, review Sunday messages, discuss Christian books, and use a variety of other resources with the intention of growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• Pursuit of biblical fellowship. Genuine fellowship isn’t practical in a large crowd. Community Groups provide a place where we can build intimate relationships, care for one another, and help each other grow in our relationship with God.
• Ministry to one another. God has made us dependent on each other, and Community Groups provide a context where we can minister to each other with the gifts that God has given us. Meetings often include times of prayer for one another and opportunities for individuals to exercise spiritual gifts for the edification of others.
