Build Relationships
Spend time together and build deep relationships. As LifeGroups first get started each person takes time sharing their faith story. This is a great building block from which relationships can go deeper.
Grow Closer to Christ in a LifeGroup
We want everyone at West Shore Free Church to be a part of a caring community and find a sense of belonging. LifeGroups are where this happens best.
LifeGroups at
West Shore Free Church
Our LifeGroups are one of the primary discipleship strategies we use to grow in Christ together and to pursue our mission as one church body. Each group consists of 5-11 people who gather together on a regular basis in peoples’ homes to have a time of fellowship, intentional prayer and a discussion on the sermon using the weekly sermon guide provided.
LifeGroup Launches
When we launch new LifeGroups we ask you to simply commit to trying a LifeGroup for 8-weeks. This gives you a chance to try out a LifeGroup to see if it is the right fit for you. Our hope is after the 8-week trial period the group will stay together and continue meeting. But if not, you are welcome to try another group through our next LifeGroup Launch event.
What Do LifeGroups Do?
Each LifeGroup is composed of between 5-11 people. We encourage groups to meet weekly in homes or other relaxed settings. During the meetings, we ask groups to follow these three simple guidelines.

Dive Deeper
Discuss Sunday’s sermon using the questions and reflections provided. We want LifeGroups to challenge their members to apply the weekly sermons to their lives throughout the week.
Pray Together
Pray for each other. Hearing each other’s burdens and praises each week helps people grow together; and praying together for those burdens and praises helps people grow closer to God.
