FAQ about Life Groups:

What is a Life Group?
A Life Group is made up of 10-16 people who gather weekly to discuss the previous weekend’s sermon, pray, and minister to one another. Each group has a trained leader and host. Most meetings last an hour and a half, followed by light refreshments.

When and where do Life Groups meet?
Life groups meet on various nights of the week in homes throughout the Valley. Most groups meet from 7 to 9 p.m.

How important are Life Groups?
Life Groups are a high priority at CityLight. In Life Groups, some of the most impactful ministry takes place as group members study God’s word while supporting and sharing life with one another. We believe that meeting together in a Life Group on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do for your own spiritual health and the good of the church.

How do I get in a Life Group?
Before you sign up for a Life Group, we ask that you attend a Consider. But once you do, you can sign up on our Next Steps form and our website. Our Spiritual Rhythms Team will then assign you to a group that fits your family best, and you will then get connected with a Life Group leader so you can begin attending. For more info you can email our Pastor of Spiritual Rhythms at: alberto.portillo@citylightla.church.

What about children?
Life Groups are a mix of people of different ages with and without children. We leave it up to each group to work out their own child care. Sometimes it works best for families to share a sitter or swap child care with another family whose group meets on a different night. Some groups allow the children to play quietly near the group during the session.

How long do Life Groups last?
Each Life Group semester lasts 10-12 weeks. We have two semesters. At the end of each semester, you’ll have the option of staying in the same group, trying a new group or even taking a break. Life Groups don’t meet over the summer, mid-June through August.

Why weekly meetings?
Weekly meetings help your group gain (and sustain) the relational momentum that's so vital to building community around God's word. People need a community where they're known, loved and cared for. This kind of meaningful relationship is built on regular and intentional interaction. We believe weekly or biweekly meetings provide a good rhythm for that level of interaction.

Are there groups for teenagers?
Yes, our Students Ministry also meets regularly. These groups are not listed alongside our adult groups, but you can get the information you need by emailing jared.pinson@citylightla.church.

What does it cost?
Few things in life are free. And your involvement in a small group is no exception! The cost of Life Group is the cost of commitment. By attending a Life Group you are committing to faithfully attend our services and whenever your assigned group meets. We simply ask that if you have not attended a Consider meeting, that you do that first before registering for a group.

Registration is OPEN.
