Life Groups
A place where you are known and know others and can be your authentic self while "doing life" together is the best possible place to explore your journey with Christ.
Women
We're excited to help women grow in their relationship with God, one another, and be equipped to fulfill the callings God has on their lives.
Men
Our goal is to see men grow in faith, build lasting connections with one another, stand firm in character, and walk boldly in the purpose God has called them to.

Life groups are small groups of 5-15 people that meet on a regular basis to encourage one another towards faithfulness to Jesus. Groups have the option to meet in the home, in a public space, or online. We have Life Groups most nights of the week.

Engaging in community means forming spiritual relationships. Life Groups provide a safe space for these relationships to form. When you join a group, you will spend time socializing, learning, and praying together. All you have to do is show up, join in, and be real.
Spiritual relationships are important because they lead to spiritual growth. To grow spiritually means we are growing closer to God, closer to others, and growing to become more like Christ.
-
The primary goal in Life Groups is for us to grow as disciples, love one another as a family, and find their place in our shared mission as followers of Jesus. This can be accomplished through a variety of formats, but generally speaking, life group activities will consist of diving deeper into the scripture, sharing relevant experiences, and just spending time and building relationships with other Christ-followers.

Worship Arts
Worship is a way of life for us at Next Chapter, so when we come together as a community to sing songs it's simply a continued expression of a lifestyle of worship throughout the week. God is the Creator of all things. When we use music, media, and the technical arts as giftings within us to express gratitude back to Him, we're honoring one of His intrinsic qualities.
We know it all begins with God, so we design every worship experience to be a memorable encounter with Him, sparking life-change that's ongoing. Follow all things about the Worship Arts online at #nextchapterworship. For more information contact Brent at brent@thenextchapterchurch.com
