Sign up for a Summer LIFEgroup!

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY

LIFEgroups are TerraNova’s groups of 10-16 people who get together to learn about the Bible, grow, and have fun together. These groups are a great way to build friendships while growing in your faith. Summer LIFEgroups begin in June and last for four sessions (in most cases). So, it’s a short-term commitment! All groups are based on connecting, studying the scriptures and praying for one another.

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO NEXT: Check out the listing of Summer LIFEgroups, and select the group you’d like to participate in. Need help or coaching on a group that will be a “best” fit for you? Contact Lyle Castellaw.
