Imagine something small, starting something big.
It happened once, when a simple carpenter shared his life with 12 close friends. For 3 years, they ate together, played together, learned together, traveled together, laughed together, cried together, and even fought together. Their lives were changed, and then they went out and changed the world.
Do you believe it can happen today? Imagine the direct descendant of that group of followers, the Church, doing the same thing today. Groups of a dozen people—sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less—sharing life together. Eating together. Playing together. Learning together. Traveling together. Laughing together. Crying together. And even fighting together.
Lifegroups have the potential to change lives. And your church. And the world. It can be done. It has been done.
Lifegroups are more than "just" a Bible study, although they provide the opportunity to study God's word. They are more than a prayer group, although they can provide a "bridge line" to the throne room.
More than just a fellowship time or social hour, Lifegroups can serve as the foundation for deep, truly life-changing relationships. Healthy Lifegroups have the potential to serve as a microcosm of the church, in its purest form: a safe place where people can encounter God, and find the resources and relationships to nurture their spiritual growth.
Participants build deeper relationships than would ever be possible on Sundays alone. People stay connected to the church, even when they can't always attend church. Pastors are able to share the responsibilities of spiritual care. The church grows bigger, smaller, and deeper, all at the same time. Lives are changed, and then those people go out and change the world.
