Life Groups

Life Groups are a great opportunity for people to experience life together in a small group setting. Life Groups meet in host homes on Sunday nights and are a great way to connect with people, meet new friends and be encouraged.

What is a Life Group?

Life Groups are small groups that meet on Sunday nights in host homes for the purpose of building relationships, biblical discussion, and prayer. Groups are available for adults of all ages, stages of life, and spiritual maturity, and they are generally organized by age and geographical location.

How are groups structured?

Life Groups are comprised of the same 5-7 couples or 10-14 individuals who meet on a consistent basis. The consistent interaction allows the group to go beyond surface relationships to develop intimate relationships with other believers.

Why should someone be a part of a Life Group?

Life Groups allow believers to grow closer to one another. By developing friendships with others at James River Assembly, group members will begin to strengthen one another in their relationship with God. Hence, participating in Life Groups not only unites people together but also fosters spiritual growth.

Join a Life Group

There are four ways to join a Life Group:

1. Start a new group by becoming a Life Group leader. Click "Lead a Group" on this page and a member of our team will contact you with more information.

2. Through a personal invitation from a Life Group leader who is starting a new group and/or is seeking to add to an existing group.

3. At a Life Group Connect event. Life Group Connect is a periodic event where people of similar age and geographical location connect with one another. Both new leaders and those whose groups have multiplied are afforded the opportunity to connect with new individuals for the purpose of forming new Life Groups.

4. Find a group online. Click the "Find a Group" button on this page to search for groups that currently have space in their group for additional members.
