The principles of a Life Group

Jesus is at the centre of the gathered believers and the individual Christian's life.

• Christian community is fostered through relationship
• Each life group member can grow in their Christian walk and knowledge of God
• Every life group member can be released to minister to others in the Body of Christ.
• Every life group member can seek to bring others to Christ.

What is a life group meeting like?
Each life group meeting has a structure within it which enables the life group leader to be a facilitator leader. A typical life group meeting could comprise the following four elements – the 4 Ws as they are known.

1. Welcome.
   An ‘icebreaker' question is asked of every life group member, who in turn all give their response. Each member participates from the outset, hears their own voice in the meeting and feels included from the start rather than spectating.
   
2. Worship
   This could be sung worship if there are musicians in the group. If not it could be anything that exalts the Lord in the meeting eg the reading of a psalm and pause for reflection and prayer.
   
3. Word
   This section is based around personal application of a teaching, perhaps from the Sunday service or other source. Often at this point there will be opportunity for corporate prayer for those who request it – an opportunity for the life group to minister one to another.
   
4. Witness
   Based around the corporate aim of making friends with non-believers and seeing them come to Christ, this section is often used for planning strategy and prayer.
