About Life Groups

The Church at the ARC meets every Sunday for worship, each Friday evening for our Outpouring meetings, and then at various times during the week in Life Groups.

What are Life Groups?

Life groups help to build relationships between people in church, and to introduce friends or those who do not yet know Christ, meeting together outside of church, in the daytime or an evening during the week.

Life Groups offer a relaxed setting where we can support and care for each other, give and receive life, and know a deeper reality of God transforming our lives. There is scope within the Life Groups for:

Leadership training

Impartation of the Holy Spirit

Fellowship and Evangelism

What is their purpose?

To share Christ through life's experiences. Ted Haggard said "Everything God has done in our lives is unproven until it is refined and demonstrated in the midst of relationships." The Life Groups offered by the church at the ARC give the ideal opportunity for successful Christian living in increased measures and is the place where we can know discipleship through life experiences. Life Group Leaders offer a wide range of groups with varying themes, relevant to seeing the flow of life increase throughout the whole church, through deeper encounters and experiences with the Holy Spirit, and providing a practical setting for the outworking of our Christian life.

When do they meet?

The Life Groups run for three terms over the year: Autumn, Spring and Summer. They last an average of 10 weeks and may be developed further or start new themes each term. They take place at a variety of venues from cinemas, churches, homes and the streets!

How do I join?

'Sign-up' evenings, at the start of each term, offer the chance for people to see which groups are running and spend time with the leaders to hear an exciting overview of their up-coming group. Everyone can then make their choice as to which group to join for that term. Please email info@revivalfires.org.uk for more details.

As we look forward to another series of Life Groups, we pray that John 7 v 37 may again be true! Out of our innermost being will flow rivers of living water."
