CURRENT FALL 2023 LIFE GROUPS

The main purpose of the life group is fellowship, Bible study, and Christian accountability. It’s meant to encourage and strengthen one another and is the main source of discipleship that cares for each person that attends. Life groups are the best place to connect and fellowship with other believers. At Covenant Fellowship, life groups are designed for you to develop deeper relationships with others who can encourage and challenge you to consistently to apply the truths of God’s Word to each area of your life.

Bible/Book based groups

Bible or book based groups concentrate on discussions and insights from the Bible and Christian literature. These groups provide an environment to ask candid questions about the actual content of the Bible/book. Open communication and the pursuit for knowledge in these groups encourage others to share what God is doing in their lives and how He is working through the message to grow them in faith.

breakfast groups

The men and women of Covenant Fellowship meet on the second Saturday of each month to share a meal, fellowship, and grow in the Lord. All ages are welcomed and encouraged to participate.

Hobby/interest groups

Do you like to hike? Are you interested in fishing? Could you use some help to get organized? Perhaps you have small children and need a playdate. Could you benefit from a stroll in the park? Individuals in these groups have something in common. They meet for an activity, but spend part of their time together growing and encouraging each other in the Lord.

House fires - sermon based groups

Based on sermons from our Lead Pastor, Michael Booker, these groups dive deeper into the rhema word of the Lord for Covenant Fellowship. These groups produce a culture of being "doers of the Word", while contributing to unity within the Covenant Fellowship body. House Fires create a venue for questions and sharpens the message preached.

Prayer groups

Prayer is such an important discipline in the life of a believer. It changes hearts, infuses strength, helps us overcome, and creates an atmosphere where miracles can happen. Believers in these prayer groups gather, in faith, on a regular basis to pray and lift up the name of Jesus. Some prayer groups have a specific focus like praying for their community or families, or praying for elections and government. Some meet to pray specifically for the pastoral leadership staff and church services.

Frequently Asked Questions

how long are life groups?

Life Groups are done in semesters with each lasting about 12 weeks. There are some exceptions to this, depending on the type of group. Group leaders can provide more detailed information on the length of particular groups.

what can i expect at a life group?

Groups may be structured by gender, stage of life, age, common interest, activity or topic. Groups are based on the biblical model found in Acts 2:42-47 that records amazing growth of the first church in Jerusalem. Therefore, most meetings include the following:

• Teaching (bible studies, DVDs, books, devotions, etc.)
• Fellowship
• Breaking of Bread (meals/snacks are enjoyed by most groups)
• Prayer
• Care
