LIFEcells

Our small groups, that we call LIFEcells, are safe places for every individual to experience growth & transformation through relationship with God and others.  We believe in conversations that lead to transformation!  LIFEcells are where we find LIFE as we are connected to others, invested together in transforming journeys with Jesus!  LIFEcell discussions are based in scripture. We believe the Lord speaks to & through all of us...when we talk about Him and His Word, we will begin to understand WHY the biblical truths we discover are important and HOW we can respond to them!  Let's talk about our life-transforming journey together!

Small groups at C4L:

Practical tools include clarifying expectations, identifying wrong assumptions, listening incarnationally, speaking clearly about complex emotions, and learning how to navigate conflict in a healthier way.

    Day/Time: Mondays at 6:30 PM
    Dates: September 20–October 12

    Money is about more than numbers. It often reflects our values, goals, challenges, habits, emotions, and faith.

    This four-week LIFEcell will help participants identify short-term and long-term financial goals, put their current numbers on paper, and develop a clear financial map for where they want to go. The group will also address some of the practical and emotional challenges that can make financial decisions difficult.

    The goal is to combine practical financial planning with faithful stewardship, learning how to partner with God while taking meaningful steps toward a healthier financial future.

    A great fit for: anyone who wants greater financial clarity, a practical plan, and a faith-centered approach to stewardship.


    (For Women) Proverbs 31: Christ and His Gospel-Revealing Our True Identity

    Host/Leader: Carolyn Buchanan
    Day/Time: Wednesdays at 6:30 PM
    Location: Connect4LIFE Church
    Length: 8 weeks, with one week off during the semester

    This women’s LIFEcell will look at Proverbs 31 through a Christ-centered lens. Rather than approaching the passage primarily as a list of expectations for women, the group will focus on Jesus and His perfect character, His humility, provision, generosity, courage, truth, finished work, wisdom, glory, and reward.

    The emphasis will be on discovering our identity and rest through a deeper revelation of Christ and His infinite value and provision.

    Two phrases capture the heart of the study: “Purpose, not perfection.” & “Rest through revelation.”

    A great fit for: women who want to study Scripture together while growing in their understanding of Jesus, identity, grace, and purpose.


    Finding Meaning Through Loving God

    Hosts/Leaders: Taylor & Kaitlyn Buchanan

    Address: 530 Nash Howard Rd
    Length: 9 weeks

    This LIFEcell will journey through the book of Ecclesiastes and explore one of life’s biggest questions: Where do we find lasting meaning and contentment?

    Together, the group will consider the things people commonly look to for fulfillment, including wisdom, accomplishments, work, time, relationships, money, appetite, and success. Ecclesiastes honestly examines the limits of each of these and ultimately points us back to our Creator.

    The goal is for participants to develop a deeper understanding of true contentment through their relationship with the Father.

    A great fit for: anyone wrestling with questions of meaning, purpose, contentment, priorities, or what really lasts.

    The study will explore themes such as God-given calling, creativity, diligence, stewardship of wealth, working unto the Lord, vocation, biblical models of stewardship, and trusting God for the grace and provision needed to accomplish the work He has prepared for us.

    The goal is to help you recognize what God has already placed in your hands and learn how to faithfully cultivate and multiply it for Kingdom impact.

    A great fit for: anyone who wants to better understand how their everyday work, gifts, creativity, finances, and resources connect to God’s Kingdom purposes.
