Community Groups are where people are known, loved, and cared for by our community and sent out to love our neighbors in our city.

Community Groups (CG’s) exist at Citylife to 1) cultivate spiritual COMMUNITY 2) provide spiritual CARE for our church and to 3) embody a missional PRESENCE for our neighbors in our city.

  • Community Groups (CG's) are small communities that gather together in people's homes throughout the city and metro area during the week. Though each CG is different, we seek to center our life together in 3 main areas: connecting with God in worship (UP), connecting with one another in fellowship (WITH), and connecting with our neighbors in love and service (OUT).

    First, we are communities growing deeper together in our relationship with God (UP). We seek to do this through regular time together in communal worship, prayer, and Scripture.

    Second, we are communities building relationships with one another (WITH). Part of what it means to be human is to be involved in relationships with others whom you can do life together with. CG's are the primary place where meaningful relationships are cultivated at Citylife. Through regular gatherings, people are known, loved, and cared for by others in our community.

    Third, we are communities moving outward on mission (OUT). As much as we pursue relationships with one another in our CG's, we do not want to be a community that exists for ourselves. We seek to be a community that moves outward in our neighborhoods to express a visible witness of the gospel to our neighbors though both word and deed. Our shared love for God and experience of his grace lead us to actively love our neighbors around us.

  • While each CG is slightly different, a normal monthly schedule may look something like this:

    2X a month - Worship, Prayer, Bible Discussion, and Fellowship

    1X a month - Fellowship and Community Social Event

    1X a month - Neighborhood-based service or night of prayer

  • Our Sunday worship service can be a large space where it’s more challenging and intimidating to get to know and be known by others in the broader church community. CG’s are smaller communities that gather together in more intimate settings where you can experience spiritual community and spiritual care from others in our church during the week.
