LIFE Groups

Enjoy LIFE together!

Looking for a meaningful place to make new friends, socialize and learn more about God? At Southwood we believe that meaningful relationships are highly important for spiritual growth. Our in-home LIFE groups are small gatherings of friends who meet regularly to learn, pray, socialize and share their journey of faith. You are sure to experience life in a whole new way through our LIFE group ministry!

If involvement in a LIFE group matters to you, and you’re not yet a part of one, please email Karen Valade, our LIFE Team Leader.

Southwood Core Value #3

“We envision a church characterized by strong ties of meaningful Christian fellowship.  In a world marked by alienation, we will seek to strengthen our bonds of Christian love by being a community that regularly spends time with one another for the purpose of Christian growth and testimony.  We will associate together publicly and in the context of our homes for this purpose.  Our in-home LIFE groups will be a significant part of our identity as a church.  As such, we will encourage involvement in LIFE groups as a mark of commitment to growth and Christian maturity.”
