From Your Pastors… For most people, it isn’t enough to just go to church on the weekends. People want to be involved; they want to feel connected; they want to belong. That’s why we have LifeGroups at Faith Life Church. LifeGroups are designed to help you grow in your walk with God, get support from friends who can care for and pray with you, serve others, and help you truly feel like you belong. But LifeGroups are also about more than just our Faith Life Church family. LifeGroups are about reaching outside the walls of our church and into the lives of those who don’t feel like they belong anywhere. So sign up for a LifeGroup for yourself. Enjoy some good laughs, eat some great food, and make some new friends. Take the time to enjoy life this fall. Then, look at LifeGroups as a way you can help someone else experience the good life. Start reaching out to people. Talk to the cashier at the grocery store. Have a conversation with your server the next time you go out to dinner. Be a source of encouragement for everyone you come into contact with. Invite people you know and people you meet to come to a LifeGroup with you—invite them to come and belong. With love,
What is a LifeGroup? A LifeGroup is a group of people that meet to connect, share an interest, develop friendships, study biblical teachings, support one another, and have fun! At FLC, we put our LifeGroups into specific categories—Interest Groups (interests & hobbies), Life Enrichment Groups (study groups), and Support & Recovery Groups (recovery and help for life’s special circumstances). Where and when do LifeGroups meet? Several FLC LifeGroups meet at The Now Center, while others meet in the leaders’ homes, or in other locations throughout Central Ohio. Why are LifeGroups important? We believe that getting connected with others is vital, and LifeGroups are a great way to do that. We would love for everyone to get involved in at least one LifeGroup! How do I sign up for a LifeGroup? Once you find a group (or a few groups) that you’re interested in, feel free to contact the leader directly using the information listed for the group. What if I want to join a LifeGroup that has already started? It’s never too late to join most LifeGroups. Check with the leader of that group to find out how to jump in. Is childcare provided? Each group is different. If you have questions about childcare, please ask your LifeGroup leader. How can I become a LifeGroup Leader? To become a LifeGroup leader, you should attend the M5 Growth Track Membership and Missions sessions. The M5 Growth Track is hosted bi-monthly at FLC. Visit Guest Services for more information.

Impact Teams are important at FLC. Like LifeGroups, Impact Teams allow you to connect, share an interest, develop friendships, support one another, and have fun. But Impact Teams are also more than that. These teams are how we function. They work together to make Faith Life Church and Faith Life Now effective in helping people take the next step in their journey toward and with God. We call them Impact Teams for a reason. First, they impact YOU by helping you discover God’s plan and purpose for your life. Impact Teams are your opportunity to get plugged in and use your unique giftings and talents in the best way possible—to further the Kingdom of God.
17
Second, by getting involved with one of these teams, no matter how small the role might seem, you help make an impact on the lives of others. Sure, making a commitment to one of these teams will require that you set aside time in your busy schedule. Sometimes it will require that you look beyond your to-do list, your calendar, and your laundry. But by doing so, you’ll help share God’s love with others. You’ll meet the needs of people at FLC, in our community, and in the world. You’ll not only help impact lives, you’ll help change lives.
