LIFEGroups
We don’t want anyone to do life alone! Here at The Bridge, we like to say that “LIFE is better together” because we each have the opportunity to learn and grow as we influence each other’s lives.
At its core, a LIFE Group is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. We all need each other and that’s why we have LIFE Groups. Just like most things, you won’t know until you try, so check out the directory and connect with a LIFE Group today!

LifeGroup FAQs
What happens at a LifeGroup meeting?
You’ve probably seen LifeGroups meeting and not even realized it. A LifeGroup looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a LifeGroup is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in LifeGroups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life giving conversation and request prayer.
How often does a LifeGroup meet?
Our LifeGroups meet for three semesters a year—winter/spring, summer and fall. During the semester, most groups meet once a week. LifeGroups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.
Where do LifeGroups meet?
LifeGroups happen in homes, the church, virtual, on the golf course, hiking around the river.
How long does a typical LifeGroup stay together?
Most LifeGroups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.
Is there childcare available?
Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.
What if I don’t like the first group I try?
The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in LifeGroups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you! Frequently asked questions (FAQ's) help your ministry respond to the needs of your audience before they even ask! The trick is to think like a visitor first and come up with helpful topics.
How do I lead a group?
Register for one of the days listed on the link and join us for Life Group training. Lunch will be included.
We believe God uses Life Groups to change people’s lives, and as a leader, you get to be a part of that.
