Life Groups

Our Groups Are "Passion Focused"

“Passion-focused” simply means group leaders are free to use their gifts and interests to determine when and where their group meets and what they focus on each semester. For example, a group could be centered on people who like biking, or it could be as simple as a coffee break in the middle of the day to discuss the bible. Our groups can be as varied and different as we all are.

Life Flows in Seasons

We try to make it as easy as possible for you to be in the right Life Group for you in each of those seasons. This is why we structure Life Groups into three semesters each year that start and stop with the natural flow of the seasons. Not only does this format give leaders and members rest periods, it helps new Life Group members feel comfortable coming to a group for the first time.

Everyone Can Join A Group

Anyone who wants to come is welcome, even if they don’t go to Thrive. Our hope is for every person at Thrive to be connected in a Life Group every semester their schedule allows. With a variety of groups and topics to choose from, there is a Life Group for everyone.

Everyone Can Host A Group

We believe everyone has areas of strength and gifting that can bless others, and hosting a Life Group is a great way to make a difference for the kingdom of God. The first step toward becoming a Life Group leader is to attend the Life Group Leader Training.

Our spring Life Group Semester Begins in february!
