A Note from Pastor Tommy Cruz Life is not meant to be lived alone. In all reality, Facebook is the only place where it’s socially acceptable to talk to a wall. God intends for us to experience life together, to find true fellowship. That’s why at Trinity we encourage everyone to join a life group. A life group is a gathering of three or more people who meet in a home, coffee shop, workplace, or oncampus. They hang out, build friendships, study the Word, and pray together. There are groups for every walk of life - married couples, young families, singles, men’s, women’s, prime timers, prayer groups, study groups, interest groups – and that’s just the beginning! No matter where you are in life, there’s a group waiting just for you. Ready to dive in? You know it will be worth it…. Find a group that fits you, or start one of your own.
