I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. – Colossians 2:2
L.I.F.E Groups are an important part of Cedar Point Church because each core value is lived out through these groups. L.I.F.E. Groups are a place where adults can get refreshed and encouraged through looking at God’s word together and meet every other week.
Here is what they focus on:
Laughter
Laughter is an important part in enjoying life. Christianity is not the dull, lifeless way to live that has so often been portrayed or imagined. But Christ came that we may have life and have it to the full. L.I.F.E. Groups encourage and enjoy the celebration of life, especially the new life available in Christ. Life is simply more enjoyable when we learn to laugh.
Inviting
People long to belong and anyone is invited to join a L.I.F.E. Group. There is an innate feeling in every individual that knows something is missing without God and Christ followers have been given a mission to invite others into the Kingdom of God. Each L.I.F.E. Group intentionally focuses on and are involved in ways to invite others into God’s Kingdom both locally and globally. This happens together through practical service or outreach projects that take place within each group.
Friends & fellowship
God created us as relational beings to live in community. As Christ followers we need each other. At Cedar Point we encourage a culture where it’s okay to not be perfect. Following Christ can become hard work. We all fall from time to time and need a group of people who can encourage each other in their journey with Christ. Besides, barbecues are just more fun with lots of people!
Edification
At Cedar Point Church we seek to live God-directed lives. Edification in L.I.F.E. Groups is the “intellectual, moral, or spiritual improvement” of Christ followers and sojourners. We believe that when prayer and God’s Word are at the center of who we are and what we do life takes on a greater sense of meaning and purpose. Not only is God’s Word encouraging but each member can be as well.
As L.I.F.E. Groups live out the core values in their families, communities, and the world, our hope is that you will grow in your walk with Christ and God’s Kingdom will expand well beyond Nashua. Please contact Pastor Darin about joining a L.I.F.E. Group.
