Life Groups

Life Groups are a great avenue at Redeemer for fostering meaningful community and engaging in life-on-life discipleship. Participation in Sunday worship is indispensable, and Life Groups are a complement to Sundays, providing a space for deeper relationship, accountability, and encouragement. Preference in Life Group involvement is given to Missional Partners, but this is not required to attend a group.

The Life Group season runs September-May and new groups also form throughout the ministry year based on leader availability and participant interest. Please complete the Join a Life Group form at any time. Groups typically take the summer off with some holding monthly social gatherings.

Who: We encourage every Missional Partner and regular attender to participate in a Life Group.
What: Groups of 12-14 adults who come together for study, gender-specific accountability, prayer, service projects, and social hangouts.
When: Groups typically meet weekly.
Where: In people’s homes or in the church building.

If you have a question for a group leader, please contact Keziah Rynne.

In addition to Life Groups, we offer a number of theological equipping classes as part of our Redeemer Institute.
