Transforming Lives by Connecting People to God and One Another
What are Life Groups?
Life
Groups help people grow spiritually by building relationships with
other Christians and by giving people a place to explore how the Bible
applies to their lives.
Where/When
- Most groups meet every other week, either at the church or at a
member’s home in Sienna Plantation. A few groups meet weekly.
Who
– Anyone, member or visitor, married or single, is welcome in our Life
Groups. Some Life Groups are based upon a common stage of life.
Several are kid-friendly.
What Happens – Life Groups participate in Bible
study, prayer, and fellowship. Meetings typically last 1.5 hours, with
half the time spent socializing and half the time spent discussing a
Bible passage.

mornings for a very informal hour of prayer. We will meet and pray about
everything from personal needs, family concerns, community, government,

up yourself and others, knowing God has heard our needs. Remember the
bible says in Matthew 18:20 "For where two or more come together there
am I with them." This is a group where you are welcome to come and go
as you please.

Description: The Bible is our best source for
knowing God, but it can be complex and confusing. It is a compilation of
history, allegory, poetry, narrative, biography, and more. It is not
necessarily chronological and the same stories are often told from more
than one point of view.
We will learn how to consider many factors (history, allegory, poetry,
narrative, biography, and more) when reading the bible to gain richer
meaning. This course will benefit beginners and experts.

Group: Adults
Study: Bible Study In The Book of Galatians
Description: Is
a person saved by faith alone, or by a combination of faith plus works?
Paul’s letter to the Galatians proclaims that salvation is through
faith alone. It also emphasizes freedom in Christ to live by the power
of the Spirit, knowing that our relationship with God is not based on
our performance but on the finished work of Jesus Christ. So we are
truly free, not to serve our sinful nature, but to love and serve our
Lord and others.

FRIDAYS
Study: Bible Study In The Book of Job
Description: When
suffering comes to us, we often ask why. The book of Job examines the
suffering of one man who suffered precisely because he was blameless.
His friends supposed that Job was guilty of some unknown sin. They tried
to persuade him to repent, but Job did not accept their past
explanations. Finally, God appeared, but he did not give Job the answers
he sought. Instead, God confronted him, changed his perspective, and
blessed him.
