experiencing god BEGINS SEPTEMBER 15!

God is inviting you into an intimate love relationship through which He reveals to you His will, His ways, and His work. You’ll learn to see, know and do His will in your life.

When you recognize where God is working, you can join Him in what He is doing. Carefully listening to His voice will anchor you in His plan and set you free to live it with boldness and freedom. Then you will experience God doing through you what only He can do.

LEADER / CO-LEADER FAQ

Interested in leading or co-leading a Life Group? Need more info? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.

  1. How much of my time is this going to take? The homework will take at least 30 minutes daily 5 days per week. Or, you can do it all at once in one big chunk, whatever works best for your schedule. Most Life Groups meet weekly for at least 90 minutes to two hours. And then church on Sunday for 90 minutes because you won’t want to miss the sermons that will coincide with each week! So…you’re looking at about 325 minutes per week, which is only 3% of your week!

  2. Is this a long-term commitment? No! Leading an Experiencing God Life Group is a short-term responsibility that carries an eternal significance. As a leader, you aren’t expected to shepherd or pastor group members, nor are you responsible for multiplying the group when the study is over.

  3. How many people will be in my group? For this study, we are organizing groups of 12. Should your group consistently have more than 12 people in it, please let Ron Nies know.

  4. How much do I have to know about the Bible? Not much at all. Don’t have a Bible? Text BIBLE to 7192233996 and we’ll send you a link to an online Bible. Prefer a real book where you get to flip the pages and sniff the book smell? Email the office at hello@valleyfellowship.church and we’ll make sure you get one! Once you have a Bible, your group members will help you navigate either the app or your Bible.

  5. How many weeks or months is this group going to last? This semester will last 12 weeks.

  6. What will we do during the weekly Life Group sessions? Each session includes a video teaching, a review of the session content, a time for sharing personal experiences and responses to the session content, and praying for concerns related to sharing.

This is a church wide initiative that includes daily personal devotions, weekly group teachings and discussions, and a 12-week teaching series with Pastor Brett,

  4. Who else is going to be in the group? For this study, we are organizing groups of 12. You’ll see when you register that you are able to pick your first and second choices.
