Life Groups
UPDATE: Our Life Groups have leveraged technology to not only stay connected but to reach new people during the pandemic. Some continue to meet digitally, while others have begun meeting in-person or with a hybrid, in-person/digital mix. Click the photo for the latest information showing who is meeting, when, and where.
life groups
At Briarlake Church, Life Groups are the key way to grow in your faith alongside others. Life Groups offer the chance to study the Bible, grow lasting friendships and serve others in Jesus’ name. We have two types of Life Groups: groups that have a “service” emphasis and groups that have a “study” emphasis. Those who study or serve together will form a bond of friendship as they live out God’s call on their lives to “go and make disciples.”
