Life Groups

A Life Group is a collection of about 6-15 people who gather weekly to develop meaningful relationships around God’s Word.

Life Groups create space to practice our faith together as the family of God. Our faith is personal, but it was never meant to be lived in isolation. God invites us into the Church, where we grow together through meaningful relationships.

Scripture references: Acts 2:42–47; Hebrews 10:24–25; John 13:34–35; Deuteronomy 6:4–9; Matthew 28:16–20; 1 Peter 4:8–11

Life Groups gather weekly to share life and grow in faith together. Groups typically spend time connecting relationally, discussing the Bible passage from the weekend teaching (or Rooted for new groups), and praying for one another.

• Belong: Groups are a place to be known—sharing what’s happening in our lives and supporting one another through prayer.

• Believe: We talk through the Bible passage together, discovering how God’s Word speaks into real life.

• Become: What we experience together shapes who we are and how we live, not just what we know.

Life Groups are for adults who are interested in exploring and growing in a life shaped by Jesus. Some come with a strong faith, others are still asking questions—but everyone shares a desire to engage honestly with the Bible and be open to what God might do in their lives.

Life Groups aren’t just social gatherings; they’re communities centered on following Jesus together.

Life Groups meet in three seasonal sessions each year: Fall, Winter, and Spring.

Life Group session dates for 2026:

• Winter Session: February 1 – April 11

• Spring Session: April 12 – June 6
  (Rooted groups continue through June 20)

• Fall Session: September 13 – November 20

Groups meet weekly during each session at a consistent time and location.

Life Groups meet at various times throughout the week and in two primary locations: in homes or on the 3Crosses Church campus. Each group meets at a consistent time and place throughout the season.

Specific meeting times and locations are included on the group sign-ups page during sign-up seasons.

We offer a variety of Life Groups, including groups for women, men, young adults (ages 18–30), couples, co-ed groups, and ASL. When choosing a group, we encourage you to start with one that meets at a time and location you can consistently commit to.

We recommend joining a Life Group that begins with Rooted, a 10-week study where people explore core questions about faith while practicing rhythms of following Jesus together. Rooted life groups are open to both long-time believers and those still exploring faith.

Life Groups open for sign-ups three times each year: in January, after Easter, and in September.

2026 sign-up dates:

• Winter: January 18 – February 1

• Spring: April 6 – April 12

• Fall: August 30 – September 13

If it’s not currently a sign-up season, we’d still love to help you get connected. We encourage you to join us at our Women’s Collective or Men’s Huddle, or come find us at the connect table on a Sunday morning—we’d be happy to help you find the right next step.

We know life is busy and often unpredictable. Life Groups work best when members are able to show up consistently and be present with one another. When choosing a group, consider whether the time and location will allow you to participate regularly during the season.

Life Groups at 3Crosses are designed to begin with Rooted, a 10-week study where people explore core questions about faith while practicing rhythms of following Jesus together. After Rooted, groups typically move into sermon-based discussions.

Sermon-based discussions focus on the Bible passage from the weekend teaching and create space to talk about how God’s Word connects with our real lives.

Let’s be honest—our church is full of wonderfully unique people… and that includes you. Sometimes God surprises us by placing us with people we wouldn’t naturally choose, and those relationships can become unexpectedly meaningful.

At the same time, we’re all adults, and sometimes it becomes clear when a group just isn’t the right fit—and that’s okay. If that happens, you’re not on your own. Reach out to paige@3crosses.church, and we’ll walk with you toward a group that may be a better fit for this season.
