Well, while most of our Life Groups meet regularly through out the year, these Short-Term Life Groups will be meeting for only 6 weeks beginning during the week of April 15th. Our hope is that these groups will provide you with a sense of what a Life Group could be all about and that you will want to connect with one in the fall at Life Line!
Each Short-Term Group will use a different curriculum and talk …

This past Sunday we encouraged you and your group to consider coming to Passport on April 14 from 9:00-12:00.
If you missed last years event, you won't want to miss it again this year. It's a great time! We'd really encourage you and your group to come.
For those who did come to Passport last year and feel like it might be a bit of a 'rerun' for you to go again, know that there will be opportunity to learn about two of the different 'spokes' that you didn't get to learn about last time. So …

Helping people grow is not easy, especially when the people in your Life Group are at different places in their spiritual journey. Seekers, newer Christians, people who have been Christians for a long time and then everything in between. As leaders, what can we do to help people grow? How can we encourage seekers and newer Christians to grow in their journey? What next steps could we encourage more 'mature Christians' in our groups to take? That’s exactly what we’ll be talking about together during the month of February at our &…
A few weeks ago, Chris Fowler & I spent a week in the Ukraine with our church's good friend Paul Lozynsky, his wife and two little girls, and his new church plant called "God's Design". It was really cool to be able to see what God is up over there and how he's using Paul and his church community to make a difference for Christ.
A number of you have asked for a bit of an update on our trip. Well this morning Paul sent out an email to a bunch of people …

“Life change happens best in relationship…” It feels like we’ve said it a million times over the years. And it’s true – God uses people to grow us. God works through relationships to make us more like Christ. But the question is, "Why?" What is it about relationships that God uses?
Here's the cool thing about relationships. Relationships have the potential to highlight the things about us that are both beautiful and broken. The ways that we reflect Christ’s image in …
