LIFE GROUPS
What are life groups?
Life Groups, a powerful tool for life change and spiritual growth, connect us to Christ and to each other. At Cypress, these are growing, purposeful, caring communities of 3 or more people with a common interest or life stage. Life Groups gather regularly to help each other practice biblical community, laugh together, engage in the larger community, build trusting friendships, and pursue spiritual growth.
Centuries ago, churches were groups of friends, neighbors, and family members who gathered regularly in homes to investigate and celebrate what it meant to follow Jesus. They came together to build relationships, to help, to encourage, to challenge each other, and to make a difference in their communities and in the world. Today, at Cypress, we aim for that same goal. Every weekend, we gather together for corporate worship; during the week, we gather in smaller Life Groups throughout the west side of Columbus to see, experience, and become all that God desires for us.
This fall we will embark on a six-week long church-wide study entitled One Month to Live. Pastor Ken will be preaching from the platform on the subject during weekend worship, then our Life Groups will reinforce the teaching mid-week with a DVD and discussion questions. This is a perfect time to join a group, as some groups are forming specifically for this study. Check out which groups have space (and which groups are newly forming) by clicking the Groups Listing link below. The study will run for six consecutive weeks starting the first week of October.
How do I get involved?
Getting involved with a Life Group is a great opportunity to get connected to others who are committed to following Jesus Christ. Relationships are essential to your growth, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. If you would like more information on STARTING a Life Group, email Laurie Hurd
