DAYSTAR LIFE GROUPS FALL 2023

Do Life Together.

What to Expect

Daystar Life Groups are the way we build relationships, grow in faith, and live life as a church. Each Life Group consists of a small group of people meeting together once a week within the Host's home. The day of the week, as well as any childcare offered or potlucks, will be determined by the Life Group leader.

Life Groups begin the week of September 17th and will run for 7 weeks.

Connection

Christian life is more than 90 minutes on a Sunday! We love to hang out and get to know each other. Be prepared to make new friends!

Prayer

We believe that God answers prayer. Countless times we have seen miracles because of the prayer in Life Groups. Every group incorporates a time of prayer into their meeting.

Discussion

Each group usually ​has some form of discussion on a spiritual topic. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a scholar to engage in the discussion – you just have to be a real person!

Food

Mmmmmm. There’s usually a wonderful snack at Life Group. Some groups go all out and do a BBQ or a potluck, while others might do a light snack or dessert.

Find a Group

You can find the perfect group for you - Life Groups
