We believe that people grow best in the context of structured and intentional relationships.   This is why we want everyone who sees Gateway as their Church family to be committed to a Life group.  A Life Group offers that context where we are encouraged to grow in our relationship with God and where we can experience and enjoy what God does when people connect meaningfully.

Today’s culture celebrates and promotes individualism over community, and privacy and seclusion are valued over connection. God didn’t design us to live this way. He created us for relationship with him and with others. We were made to belong and to be part of a community—sharing life together,  growing together, and serving God together.

When a Life Group meets:

Lasting friendships are made in Life groups. Each member of the group is encouraged to be a participant and not merely a passenger, pursuing authentic community with one another.

Life groups offer a safe place to ask questions, share life stories and together discover the reality of living life as a follower of Jesus.

There is power released when we join in agreement together to bring our needs, the needs of our Church and the needs of our world to God in prayer.

Life groups are the primary place for care within the church. It’s in the life group where you know each other and where victories can be celebrated and support & care can be given and received.
