The importance of LifeGroups has everything to do with relationships!

There’s no getting around it: relationships are central to life. Relationships provide encouragement, enjoyment, support, direction, guidance, and even strength. When we're connected to others in authentic community, we're stronger than we could be on our own. And let's be honest, life is hard. We need each other.

The very first Christians understood this. As the early church was forming, they knew the importance of being connected in community. Acts 2:42-47 says:

"They worshiped together at the Temple each day… to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer…the believers were together and had everything in common… they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together…praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

Over 2,000 years later, community is still a foundational and essential component to the life of the maturing Christ-follower.

At C.C.M.L., we firmly believe that being connected in authentic community is absolutely vital to our spiritual growth and development. When a person is an active member of a LifeGroup, sustainable growth and accountability are a part, but not limited to, what that person will experience within that setting.
