Life Groups and Discipleship

The best way to meet others, grow spiritually, and experience the best of FBCIT is to attend a Life Group. Our Life Groups meet every week for Bible Study, fellowship, and prayer. No matter your age and whether you are single, engaged, or married, we have a Life Group for you! We call them "Life Groups" because we do life together! In a Life Group you can study God's Word, make friends, and live out faith in an authentic way. Life Groups make it easier for you to find people you connect with, people who share your interests, who can relate to your struggles and who share in your accomplishments; people you can call family. We know that when you get together with people and have fun, you'll begin to grow into a strong community that serves and grows together.

Life Group Classes

Each group has its own personality. We encourage you to visit several before you join one. All groups are encouraged to have a weekly Bible study, monthly fellowship, quarterly mission project in the community, and to show intentional care to its ministry all year.

Once you connect with a Life Group, not only could your spiritual life take off to new heights, but you may begin looking for ways to serve others through ministry projects. You will then seek out others who need what you have experienced and invite them.  This comes full circle by loving and leading everyone you meet into an everyday walk with Christ.

On your first Sunday, stop by the Welcome Center and speak with one of our helpful greeters. They will gladly identify a Life Group for you and personally accompany you to the room.
