Building and engaging in community with God’s people around God’s Word
Life groups at Citypoint Church serve as a vital rhythm of life and discipleship. They meet in various homes across the valley and on different nights of the week.
Life Groups are where deep relationships are cultivated, mutual care is shared, and most importantly, the Word is applied to our lives.

BRING THEM!
Life Groups are for adults only, with the exception of Students(6-12th grade).

So bring your children to group. The Life Group leaders and hosts have been instructed to facilitate how childcare will look for the group. They have safe, intentional and thoughtful options.

Life Groups at Citypoint Church are sermon-based discussion. This means that the bulk of the conversation for the night will be about making specific application from the previous weekend’s sermon. Life Groups is where you will roll up your sleeves and discuss how the sermon works in real life, within your present context.
Each week there will be a handful of questions on the sermon guide that can be found on the Citypoint Church Center App. The guide is posted after the weekend worship service, prior to all groups meeting for the week.
It usually takes 20–30 minutes per week to prepare for small group.
