Life Groups

Common Questions

• What is a Life Group?

  Life Groups are where people experience gospel transformation in biblical community. A Life Group is a home gathering made up of 8-16 people who meet weekly or bi-weekly to share, study, and support one another. Life Group leaders are trained and supported by The Well Life Group staff team. 

• When and where do they meet?

  The majority of Life Groups meet on various nights of the week in homes throughout Fresno/Clovis. Most evening groups meet from 6:30-8:30pm. The daytime groups meeting times vary.

  Life Groups are semester-based home groups. At the end of each semester, you will have the choice of staying in the same group, trying a new group, or even taking a break. Most groups stay together throughout the entire year. Life Groups typically change up their meeting rhythm during the summer.

• What is the required commitment?

  Joining a Life Group requires an 8-10 week commitment to attend weekly meetings. Your commitment is a key component of a strong Life Group. If you sign up for a group and decide it’s not a good fit for you, let us know and we would love to help you find another one!

• What will we study?

  New Life Groups will walk through a sermon-based Life Group guide each week, which includes personal study in the Word, listening to the weekly sermon, and then processing how it applies in our lives.

  After the Life Group is established relationally, we encourage the group to go through an 11-week experience which explores 8 foundational practices that are essential to a healthy spiritual life. No matter what stage of life or where you are in your walk with the Lord, these foundational practices are "the how" for living out our mission of connecting to God and to each other in every neighborhood.

• What about childcare?

  Life Groups are for adults. (Exceptions can be made for nursing newborns, up to six months.) We leave it up to each family to work out their own childcare. Sometimes it works best for families to share a sitter or to swap childcare with another family whose Life Group meets on a different evening.

• Are there groups for teenagers?

  Yes, our High School and Middle School ministries both offer Life Groups for students.
