Life Groups Life Groups are the place where you can share your life with others. The good times, the tough times and the times in between. Newberg Christian Church (NCC) is in the process of growing and developing new and existing groups. The purpose of Life Groups is to connect NCC attendees for the purpose of building relationships and promoting spiritual growth by establishing small groups in the local neighborhood. NCC is a growing place and Life Groups are a great way to connect with others.
What are Life Groups?
NCC Life Groups are about experiencing authentic community through Fellowship (establishing healthy community), Discipleship (deepening your spiritual journey) Worship (surrendering to Him), Ministry (serving as God S.H.A.P.E.d you), Evangelism (serving your life mission)! In a Life Group you can take a break from the busy demands of everyday life and invest in what is really important: your relationship with God and your relationship with the people around you. Though we are not considered a large church, it is still impossible to know everyone, but you need to know someone. Life Groups usually consist of 8-12 people that meet for an hour and a half on a weekly basis. The group sets the time and place.
Why should I go to a Life Group? Things happen in a small group of people that don't happen in a big group of people. The Bible gives us many examples of how peoples' lives were changed when they met in homes with small groups of people (Acts 2:42-47). And the same happens today as we hear of how Life Groups have provided friendship, support, encouragement and an opportunity for a closer relationship with Christ. Get connected in a Life Group and your life will change!
What if I don’t fit into the group?
We understand at times it may be difficult feeling comfortable with a certain group. If you don’t feel comfortable being a part of a certain group, we will help you find a group that you can feel comfortable with. The connection team will follow-up with you after a few weeks to make sure your group is the right fit for you. All we ask is that you give your group at least three meetings before you determine it’s not the right group for you.
How do I get connected to or join a Life Group? Here are a couple options to get connected into a Life Group:
You can check the "I’m Interested in Small Groups" box on your Prayer/Communication in the Sunday program on Sunday morning. We will send you a Connection form in the mail or via email. After it is returned, someone from the Connection Team will contact you.
You can email the Connection Team directly at lifegroups@newbergcc.org especially if you have any questions. Just give them your name and a number where you can be reached.
