Life Groups
Holy Cross: Everywhere – Life Groups at Holy Cross
The Church of the Holy Cross is a place where everyone knows your name; Life Groups at Holy Cross are the place where they know your name, your story, and help equip you for living your life. Living life together, over a simple meal, with the Scriptures, and through prayer, we “rejoice with those who rejoice” and “weep with those who weep”. This community is unique because it isn’t just about support… but connection with the Lord.
Life Groups are…
Places to Be Known Together – Life Groups are places where people can be real with each other and have Christian community doing life together.
Places to Study God’s Word Together - Life Groups have a variety of Bible Study options: some groups feature in-depth, high commitment study, others focus on understanding a Book of the Bible, while others have a reflection on a devotional reading.
Places to Join in Prayer Together – Through knowing each other deeply, we begin to see the scars life inflicts upon each other.We are not called to carry those burdens alone, but together lift them up to the Healer of our Souls.
Places to Change the World Together -Many Life Groups have adopted an outreach or service project that group members participate in together. Service together bonds the group while affecting good on the world around them.
