Love thy neighbor. Life Groups are smaller (around 10 people), geographic offshoots of Bible Study Groups that meet weekly to share one another's spiritual journeys, encourage one another's progress, and help motivate each other's influence in the community. Life Groups can be intergenerational, set up for entire families, or life-stage based. By encouraging one another in the pursuit of God, sharing God's word, supporting outreach activities local and internationally, volunteering time, extending compassion, and caring for one another, the members of a Life Group usually become each others' biggest cheerleaders and closest friends...which is important, because as some point their honesty and perspective will be a driving factor in your spiritual growth.
