GROUPS
Why Groups Matter
At Harbor Church, we believe spiritual growth happens best in the context of relationships. That’s why we encourage every person who's serious about following Jesus to get involved in a LifeGroup or Group Study. The majority of our groups are sermon-based, discussing the previous weekend’s message. There are also interest-based groups that target specific needs and desires.
Bottom line: Life is better together. God often works through our lives in relationships with one another. That’s why we love Groups around here.
Choosing a Group
We recommend choosing a group based on criteria in this order:
1. Life Stage
2. Day of the Week
3. Location
FAQ’S
What is a LifeGroup?
LifeGroups are usually 8-12 people meeting weekly or biweekly to connect with one another and grow together using the weekly discussion questions found in our LifeNotes. LifeNotes are created intentionally every week to help you and your group dive deeper into the previous weekend’s message.
What is a Group Study?
A Group Study is a study of a book or book of the Bible that lasts between 6 - 8 weeks. Many of our groups have a targeted audience, such as men, women, or married couples.
What will we study?
LifeGroups usually study discussion questions based on the sermon's topic for that week. Group Studies vary on the issues they discuss. Most groups cover books of the Bible, and some groups, like our Marriage group, target specific needs.
What about kids?
Each group handles this differently. Some groups use childcare so the adults can connect during the discussion. Other groups include their children. Your group leader will have ideas and solutions.
