Networks Church - Where Connection Happens

Connect in Life Groups

What is a Life Group?
All ministry, discipleship, and fellowship at Networks Church (Other than the Sunday Morning Experience) takes place in what we call “Life Groups”. A Life Group is a group of people whom meet on a regular basis for the purpose of connection with God and each other. We offer a variety of groups which differ in content and location. Some groups are based around a Bible study, while others are more fellowship or outreach driven. Either way, Life Groups are the best way for you to connect at Networks Church. There are three Life Group semesters each year, with a break in between each. Initial and ongoing training is provided for those in Life Group Leadership.
