Ben announced formally this past Sunday that I was the new director of Life Groups. It is something I have alluded to already but find myself charged with renewed energy to see where this will lead.
The challenge is to help cultivate a vibrant community with sustainable leadership. We have begun to form a team of people who have experienced the joy of being in a Life Group. Here's what we're saying about Life Groups at Four Corners:
"A Life Group is the best place for community and connecting. A gathering of people where life change happens. It can happen over a meal, impacting our community through service, in conversations about the Bible or in innumerable other ways...Life Groups can happen anywhere!
A Life Group will challenge you to connect with other people and grow in your relationship with God. It is a short term (some last only 4 weeks but the max is 6 months with the idea of growth as a key element) commitment to experiencing church as it should be...a place of doing not just listening.
Practically speaking, there will never be a way for the staff to personally connect to everyone who attends our church. That's why we believe Life Groups are so essential at Four Corners."
So if you're at Four Corners...get involved and hold on. If you're in Cincinnati looking for a church...come get plugged in. And if you're in a church that doesn't have Life Groups (small groups)...get them started!
