God's nature is community and He made us in His image. If we try to live our lives apart from community we will not grow into the people God intended us to be.

Take your NEXT STEP in GROWING to be more like Jesus

Three Purposes of Group Life

Experience Knowing by joining the Union Chapel family and building relationships with other believers in Christ.

Experience Growing by enriching each other's relationship with God through Bible study and life experience.

Experience Going by meeting each other's needs, inviting new members into the group, serving in the many aspects of Union Chapel's ministry, and other mission possibilities.

Hebrews 10:24-25

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

What is a Life Group?

It is a gathering of 8 to 12 people committed to meeting together, on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for the purpose of living out God's Word.

What Do You Study?

We have several life group studies in our growing library. Each of these curriculums are video and discussion driven. Many groups usually study a book of the Bible or do a topical study. Also, all groups come together periodically to go through a study based on a sermon series.

Being a facilitator means:

You're a member of Union Chapel.
You're willing to open your home for group meetings. You'll attend a training session. You'll attend quarterly update events.
You'll work with your group to choose a curriculum of study. You'll facilitate group discussion and keep others informed of group updates.

Our relationship to God.

Jesus, through the community of a small group, modeled how we do life together. He connected with the disciples through life experience, further discovery through teaching, and action as they served the needs of others. Therefore here at Union Chapel we desire for every follower of Christ to be connected in some way to a life group.

What Happens in Life Groups?

In a word, Love...God's Love. God shows His love to us through His people and there is no better way to experience this than through life groups. In life groups, you can share with one another, learn about each other, and grow together as a community of believers. As you explore God's word together, pray for one another and challenge one another to serve, you will find a closer connection to Christ.

Why Should I Join a Life Group?

We all want to be where everyone knows our name. In a church like Union Chapel, life groups fulfill that longing to be connected. A group is one place where you will truly have a sense of belonging; it's a place to have fun, to feel love and express love, to know you are cared for, and a place where you can deepen your faith and walk with God.

How Are Groups Formed?

They are formed based upon affinity, location, need, purpose, etc. Every group will be different, but what is sure is that there is a group for you.

Who Leads Life Groups?

Home groups are facilitated by those who long to see others connected.
