Are you ready to grow spiritually? Do you want to connect relationally with others? A Life Group is the perfect place for both. This is why we have Life Groups. In fact, at the Reseda Church, the two things we want of everyone to participate in are: to attend a worship service every weekend and be in a life group because, you can’t grow spiritually without connecting relationally.
Life Groups are designed to help you experience the life God has for you by helping you CONNECT with other believers, by helping you GROW to be more like Christ, and helping you make an IMPACT with the gospel.
Every time a group meets, they spend time connecting by building relationships, growing through a discussion led Bible study, and making an impact by supporting each other through prayer and service. And as a result, group members experience growth, belonging, and care. A Life Group is your chance to pursue healthy relationships and spiritual growth.
We have many groups spread across San Fernando Valley, Ventura County, Santa Clarita Valley, and the Antelope Valley that meet on various days throughout the week. We are confident there is a group for you.
A Life Group is a small group of 4-12 people who meet at a leader’s home to connect relationally and grow spiritually by participating in a discussion led Bible study. Each group meets once a week during a series (usually 6-8 weeks) for 1.5 to 2 hours per session. Every group member receives a study guide and each group leader receives a teaching DVD for the group. Our series are designed to follow Dr. Winrow’s sermon schedule so people in groups get to dive deeper into studying the same topic which was preached during the weekend services. The groups start by watching a 10-15 minute DVD teaching, followed by a discussion led Bible study. Each group usually ends with some fellowship time and prayer.

The Christian life is not meant to be lived out alone. One aspect of our life groups is to help people build deep and healthy Christian relationships. It is our goal that through your life group, you will connect with others to build long-lasting friendships which will be instrumental in living out your faith. God has created us to be relational; therefore, you can’t grow spiritually without connecting relationally.
Jesus does not just want converts rather He has called us to be disciples. Disciples are followers of Jesus who are growing and transforming into the image of Jesus. In other words, they are becoming more like Him. Life groups are designed to help you gain biblical insights and principles as well as to learn how to apply them to your life. The goal in learning is that it always end-up in transformation. As you grow in the knowledge of Jesus and subsequently put that knowledge into practice, you will become more like Jesus and therefore will start to live life like Him.
Disciples of Jesus have been given a great responsibility to make a difference in the lives of others by taking the gospel to the World. Jesus describes this task in Matthew 28:18-20 but also exemplifies it in the way He lived His life. Our goal is that as you connect and grow through your life group, you will start to make both a physical and spiritual impact in your community. Your faith in action will not only transform you, but the people around you.
