Life Groups | Shepherd Church

Bible study meets community.

Life Groups are your way to experience Christ centered community at Shepherd. These small groups exist to bring the people of our church together to experience encouragement, prayer, and support while we study the Bible!

We have groups that meet at homes and coffee shops, as well as groups that meet online. No matter what season of life you’re in, there is a group that you can belong to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there childcare?

We want to help you be able to join and wholeheartedly attend your Life Group. Each group handles childcare differently; so check with your group leader to find a childcare solution that works best for you and your group.

What type of group should I join?

Find a group that fits your season of life! We have groups for everyone. Our hope is that each person finds a group where they feel cared for and have a chance to grow.

How often do Life Groups meet?

Every group meets on a different schedule, however, most meet weekly during each Life Groups series. Each series varies in length from 8-10 weeks. Check with your group leader to confirm your group’s schedule.

How long do Life Groups meet for?

Each Life Group picks the length of time they will meet, however, most groups meet for an hour and a half to two hours.

What goes on at a Life Group meeting?

Groups gather weekly to further discuss the weekend sermon. Each Life Group series is accompanied by a brief video and a set of questions to guide our conversations and understanding of Scripture. By engaging together, groups get to know the Bible and each other more as they study together. Along with focused times of reading the Bible, groups are challenged to put into practice what they discuss and learn with the goal of living the best life God has for each of us.
