We believe at Briarlake Church that intentional relationships are key to sustained spiritual growth. That's why Life Groups are an important part of our discipleship strategy. In a Life Group, people study God's word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It's also where they pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don't show up.
What is a Life Group?
It is a group of up to 14 people who meet to study, share, challenge, and encourage one another.
Why Life Groups?
This is a way to connect, learn with and develop friends you can count on for a season or a lifetime.
What do Life Groups do?
Each Life Group is unique, but all worship God, study His Word, pray for one another, and find opportunities to serve and grow.
Which Life Group should I join?
Couple Groups – focus on husbands and wives growing relationally with God, each other, and other couples.
Men’s Groups – where guys engage, challenge, and encourage each other to rise up to be the man, the leader, the father, the husband, that God has called them to be.
Women’s Groups –focus on women's hearts, desires, and motivation on growing a relationship with God, His Word, and His kingdom.
Single Groups – respect, trust and accountability allow a dynamic group of singles to grow together in Christ.
Mixed Groups – where couples and singles with a great diversity of life experiences come together to engage, encourage and discover their unique God-given purpose.
Who can attend a Life Group?
Everybody is invited. Join a group with your spouse, a friend or a neighbor.
What is the commitment when I join a Life Group?
Joining requires a commitment to attend the weekly meetings. Naturally, there are times when conflicts arise. Simply notify the Life Group host and they will work with you.
When and where do Life Groups meet?
Life Groups meet throughout the week in homes at various locations in our neighborhoods. In addition, groups may meet at the church campus.

What about children?

What if the Life Group I join doesn’t fit me?
