Life Group Sign-Up 2025-26 Season
Life Group Ministry Vision: TO GROW DISCIPLES THROUGH AUTHENTIC SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIPS ROOTED IN GOSPEL-CENTERED CONVERSATIONS
The Life Group season is fast approaching! If you are a professing Christian and desire to grow as disciples of Christ in community, we encourage you to sign up for a LG.
Life groups (LG) are smaller groups, of 8 or more members who meet throughout the year, with a focus on mutual discipleship in friendship and growing in relationship with Jesus Christ. Every LG may approach the time together differently, but all groups will meet regularly to cultivate deeper friendship, read God’s Word, pray for one another, and encourage each other in their faith journeys.
Explore the various LGs here: https://newhopefellowship.ca/life-groups-downtown. The sign-up form will take up to 10 minutes, and the your answers will be reviewed by the LG leader(s) during group formation. This is to help the ministry understand what you are looking for and excited about in joining a LG.
Sign-up form is open from Aug 17 to Sept 4, with LGs meeting starting the week of Sep 22.
QUESTIONS? EMAIL THE LG MINISTRY AT DT.LIFEGROUP@NEWHOPEFELLOWSHIP.CA
