CATC Life Groups | 2022

Life Groups at Church at the Cross have been a place for people to connect in the midst of chaotic times over the last two years. There has been a strong desire to come together and grow, rejoice, pray, fellowship, and serve in community. To keep up with the increased demand, we have trained 10 new leaders. The majority of these new leaders have stepped in as co-leaders to help support existing leaders and their growing groups. We’ve also started one new group. Many groups are becoming quite large and multiple new groups will need to be added over the course of the next year.

The CATC Life Groups ministry has also sought to grow in discipleship and evangelism over the last year. Life Group Leaders have been meeting in small groups of 3-5 to share what they’ve learned that could be helpful to one another in these areas. Currently, almost every Life Group has at least one Discipleship Group to offer. As members engage in Discipleship Groups, they are finding these groups helpful for connecting on a deeper level. One exciting way groups have focused on evangelism is through Front Yard Festivals. Over the last year, we saw about 20 festivals pop up throughout the community, providing opportunities for members to engage with their neighbors.

Community continues to be a place where people experience the power and presence of God and we trust that we will only increase in this coming year as many new members are added.
