(02/25/11): Our 2011 Life Groups are off and running strong. Both English and
Spanish speaking groups are spread out in and around the Antioch area.
Another solid group of leaders and co-leaders are in place and excited
about the work God will do through them in Life Groups this year.
Following the early church example of meeting in homes has proven to be
a tremendous blessing to both individuals and the entire church body at
Rural Hill the last three years. With God's continued blessing and
leading we anticipate another great Life Groups year in 2011.
Those interested in visiting a Life Group can contact Gary Hale at
615-361-1908 to ask any Life Groups questions and for help finding the
group that might be the best fit.
Life Groups were started at Rural Hill in January of 2008. Fourteen
Life Groups were formed involving nearly 300 of our members. The leadership
at Rural Hill saw a need to help our new members connect and
establish relationships while also strengthening and deepening existing
relationships. The Life Groups meet every Sunday night, except the first Sunday night
of the month. This gives Life Group members the time needed to grow closer
and encourage each other in their Christian walk.
Life group meetings involve a period of worship, fellowship, prayer and
a life application of the Sunday morning sermon. All ages are encouraged
to participate in a Life Group. Special lessons are available for children
to enjoy while the adults are engaged in their Bible study. Often snacks or
a meal are part of the Life Group's time together to allow more time to
get better acquainted and encourage each other.
Information about group leaders and locations of groups is available
in the church foyer or by calling our church office. Some tremendous
stories have already come from our Life Groups in a just a few months and
we anticipate that this is just the beginning. Life Groups are blessing
and strengthening lives as the members at Rural Hill walk hand in hand
together toward heaven.
