A brief definition of a Life group is that it is basically a spiritual family. Celebration Church makes life groups an integral part of our ministry because they allow us to do two things.
1. Care for the people who are a part of our church
2. Reach out to the people who are not currently walking with the Lord

Frequently Asked Questions
Where and when do LIFE Groups meet?
Life Groups meet during the week in the homes of people within our church. Most groups average between 8 and 12 people in attendance and meet on a weekday or Sunday evening.
Can I attend more than one Life Group?
We encourage everyone to try out different LIFE groups until they fiind one that they really connect with. Most people didn’t buy the first house they looked at, or marry the first person they dated, and so it would be reasonable to expect that the first LIFE group you attended might not be the best fit for you. Each LIFE group has a different dynamic and finding one that fits your personality, preferences, and background will be an important part of your spiritual jouney.
How do I join a LIFE Group?
