Life Groups
What are Life Groups?
Life Groups are the primary place where you are known and cared for by Atlanta Road Alliance Church. It is within these small communities that Christians can build personal relationships and practice applying the gospel to their lives. Each group expects to experience Jesus Christ in its midst, enabling participants to be transformed through mutual ministry and to experience life in the family of God.
Where do they take place?
Composed of six to twelve people, groups meet in homes typically on the first and third Sunday evening of the month. All groups are led by trained lay-leaders from the congregation who receive continued oversight and support from our pastoral staff. These groups provide sanctuary from the pressures and anxieties of life. As God made us for community, we need fellow believers to help us apply the gospel to our lives. Our hope is that everyone who attends our church will be involved in a Life Group.
If you are interested in joining a Life Group, please contact the church office or the Welcome Center at church for a listing of groups in your area.
