Groups at New Life
Following Jesus Together

Why Community Groups?

God designed us for community.   

In Acts 2:42-47, we see what it looked like to follow Jesus in community when the Church began. They gathered in homes, shared meals, prayed, worshiped, and explored God’s Word—together. That vision is still alive today because of the relational design God wove within every human heart.

At the heart of our faith is a personal relationship with Jesus but also a community of believers seeking to follow him together, not in isolation. Community Groups are designed to help us connect with one another to learn how to live life with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do as Jesus would do.  

It is in authentic relationships that we find healing, freedom, and a renewed strength to follow Jesus regardless of what life throws our way. Community Groups offer the ideal relational context for being known and loved. They are not specific to age, gender, life stage, need or shared interest, but open to anyone seeking to be a part of true biblical community. In an age of increasing isolation and pervasive loneliness, our connection to one another has never been more important. 

If you’re ready for that life-giving connection, we invite you to join a community group. No matter your season of life, there’s a place for you!
