MAX LUCADO & RANDY FRAZEE MAKING ROOM FOR NEIGHBORS
Lifegiving Relationships Over 70 ARC Pastors and Speakers including the Lead Team Produced during the 2013 ARC All Access Conference at Celebration Church in Jacksonville. Lifegiving Relationships started in a conversation between Greg Surratt, founder of ARC, and Brett Eastman, founder of Lifetogether, on Greg’s back porch. They were taking about the heart of the ARC - Lifegiving. As a member of ARC, you’ve experienced the lifegiving relationships between pastors, but what if there was a tool to convey this lifegiving message to the people in every ARC church. Lifegiving Relationships touches friendships, marriages, faith, generosity, ministry and mission.
Featuring the teachings of Greg Surratt Brady Boyd Christine Caine Dr. Dave Martin Herbert & Tiffany Cooper Joe & Lori Champion John & Leslie Siebeling John & Lisa Bevere Matt & Martha Fry Matt & Sarah Keller Peter & Caroline Haas Randy Bezet Rick Bezet Rob & Becca Ketterling Scott Hornsby Stovall Weems Todd Mullens Willie George
The stories and teaching of ARC pastors and speakers were gathered to produce a lifegiving resource straight from the heart of the ARC. “We recognize that solid relationships are the foundation for growth in any aspect of life. So we decided to capture what God is teaching us about relationships--with family, friends, nonbelievers, and others.” -- Greg Surratt from the Foreword of Lifegiving Relationships. You may not be the founder of a lifegiving church planting movement, but God has put a message and a calling in your heart. What do you need to say to your congregation or even to the world?
Your Idea + Lifetogether’s Experience = A Great Tool without the Hard Work on your part.

Live Testimonies
Video Curriculum Features Over the last 15 years, Lifetogether has produced hundreds of award-winning video-based curriculum, producing thousands of pastors, church leaders and bestselling authors for leading publishers, Christian ministries and many of the largest and fastest-growing churches in America. Please see the primary features included in most video curriculum productions. Additionally, below are other features to consider: Promotional Videos Promotional videos recruit leaders and get everyone excited in the weeks leading up to the launch of a curriculum.
Our productions go beyond just a “talking head” and include beautifully produced thematic medleys from dozens of church members.
Curriculum Previews A 60-90 second curriculum preview produced much like a movie trailer helps recruit leaders and rally the congregation.
Leader Training Fully-scripted, weekly leader training videos taught by the church staff, volunteers, or multiple church leaders provide guidance for leaders hosting groups each week.
Video Devotionals Video devotionals are delivered to the congregation daily to build momentum and maximize life change.
A La Carte
Curriculum Hosts
There are dozens of “bonus track” productions, like the gospel message, communion, recruitment videos, etc.
At the opening of each session, a host or co-hosts welcome the group each week and introduce the session.
For complete descriptions and samples of the video curriculum features, go to: www.lifetogether.com/ video-curriculum-features/ or call us at 949-769-0777.

Worship The latest breakthrough includes 6-12 worship songs led by a worship pastor and the worship team on a set with a live audience to bring worship into every small group home.
Print Curriculum Features It’s been about 20 years since the writing of our first 100page black and white print curriculum for Rick Warren. Now after producing hundreds of print study guides to serve as a companion for the video teaching series, we have learned the features that not only start, but sustain a healthy small group. Our curriculum functions as an “operating system” that helps people go deeper and wider into community.
Full Color
“Smart” Curriculum
Lifetogether produces black and white or full-color, professionally-designed, customizable curriculum. Lifetogether provides the print-ready files for the church to print with their Printer of choice. Color printing is incremental from black and white.
Every curriculum is written not just as a study of a passage but in a way that launches new groups and leads existing groups through the next steps.
Design Template
Yearbook Style
Lifetogether produces dozens of pre-designed templates to flow in the final curriculum copy. Simply select a template, send us your photos, and we take care of the rest.
Well beyond any basic, black and white study guide, our curriculum features hundreds of high resolution, congregational photos directly from the lives and ministries of the congregation. This “school yearbook” style curriculum gets the buzz and buy-in that not many programs can achieve.
Cover Art
Book Companion
Lifetogether develops a fully-custom cover art to integrate with the theme throughout the video and print layout. The back jacket is designed with the Pastor’s bio, church logo, ISBN number and promotional copy, just like a trade book.
Lifetogether produces curriculum based on any book or existing sermon series by a Senior Pastor. Lifetogether can also ghostwrite a book based on existing sermon series for the Pastor.
Re-Sale Ready
Proven Format
Lifetogether professionally produces all curriculum, complete with ISBN number and bar code, ready to be sold on and off campus like we have done with hundreds of our publisher quality series.
The Lifetogether curriculum is time-tested to produce and reproduce genuine discipleship, first by creating a group from “scratch” and systematically, developmentally, and intentionally motivating every member to serve and someday lead a group.

Rhythms of Grace Lifetogether suggested a new and unique format for Kerri Weems of Celebration Church to display her distinctive voice. Producing the project in a “Town Hall Meeting” format highlighted Kerri’s warm and winsome delivery in a living room setting filled with their senior staff. She was thrilled to jump right in, beginning each session directly to camera then turning to engage the audience in a live, interactive discussion. This format has become very popular since we first experimented with it for Dr. Tony Evans in Dallas, Texas, which turned out to be a big hit. Michael Fletcher with Manna Church and Steve Poe with Northview Church have also recently used this format, each providing a framework for how we can continue to do this with churches of all sizes. Visit www.ifetogether.com/rhythms-of-grace/ to view video sessions, previews, and full-color print curriculum.
Rhythms Of Grace Celebration Church

Over the next six weeks, your group will spend some time talking about what it means to live in wholeness, rest, and person honesty - the foundational principles of my Rhythms of Grace biook. My heart’s desire is at the close of this study you will be ready to experience life at the peaceful, live-giving pace God has awaiting you. - Kerri Weems

OUTDOORS: ON CAMPUS
For the last 15 years, Lifetogether has produced curriculum in some of the most unique and beautiful locations around the world. Though most of our shoots initially were filmed in studios, we are now hosting productions almost anywhere and everywhere the Pastor and their team desire. We can transform the worship center stage of any church into a beautiful set, or a large home into a cozy studio for the day. For a popular teaching format called the “Town Hall Meeting,” Lifetogether fills a living room with dozens of church members to create a live studio audience for the Senior Pastor to teach around. For the “Pastor’s Passion” format, Lifetogether shoots on-location around a Pastor’s favorite pastime. We can also produce dynamic productions around multiple sites in a downtown city of choice or in a rustic barn in a local town. Pastors can also choose to come to us for a California shoot on the beach or in a beach house. We can shoot in a gorgeous chapel by the lake, and the list goes on.
