About Small Groups

Why small groups? . . .

  • To find a place to belong and for the genuine friendships that develop.

  • You’ll make friends who will celebrate and pray with you, love you, accept you and then gently nudge you to grow.

  • You’ll discover how to manage the pressures of life and learn how to pray.

  • You’ll learn the significance of the Bible and how to apply it to your daily living.

When and where do they meet?

  • Groups consist of 6-12 people who gather at least twice a month at homes in neighborhoods around CLC, weeknights and weekends.

Types of Groups?

Mixed (singles & couples), Singles, Married Couples, Young Adults, Men’s and Women’s groups. 

We encourage anyone who wants to find out more about small group life at CLC to contact the Small Group Coordinator about opportunities.

Current Study Recommendations - Review these excellent resources. They cover Joshua, translating ancient stories into the language of today’s culture; and Judges, where we find God is committed to his people in extreme circumstances. Use these tools to support your vision for the group or select your own. Just remember that our goal is to invite people to follow the way of Jesus. And that journey begins in relationship and ends in life application.

You can also refer to our expanded list of resources.

What is your #1 goal in life?  Your answer to that question will reveal your dominant life value.  Everyone has one whether they realize it or not.  It's what we unconsciously base our decisions on.

God tells us that our dominant life value is to be love.  Jesus once said that of all the commands in the Bible only two are most important:  Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.

In this small group study, Rick Warren teaches that learning to love God and others is to be our highest goal, our greatest aim, our first priority, our deepest aspiration, our strongest ambition, our constant focus, our passionate intention, and our dominant life value.  The more we learn how to love authentically, the more we become like Jesus.

 /files/Logos/Discipleship/Hole In Our Gospel image.gifThe Hole in Our Gospel challenges Christians to expand their personal and transforming faith into a public and transforming relationship with the poor.  "The gospel, or good news, proclaimed by Jesus was so much more than a private transaction between God and us," Richard Stearns writes.  "It was a vision of a changed people challenging and changing the prevailing values and practices of our world."  This is a 6-session study.
