Life Groups (i.e. Small Groups) are an important part of Huron Chapel in helping us live out our mission of “Loving Jesus, Serving Others Together”.   The purpose of Life Groups is built on making reproducing disciples that will carry out this mission.

​

Why should I be a part of a Life Group?

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to be part of a community of Christ Followers in a local church.  But church is not just a building that we attend for a service on Sunday, or a ministry during the week; the local church is the people God has put together as one body in order to be Jesus to the world around them.  As Huron Chapel we want to be the church, not just when we gather on Sunday on the property in Auburn, but every day in the places God has us.  We want to live out our mission of ‘Loving Jesus, Serving Others Together’ as best we can, and to do that we need to be growing and maturing as disciples.  We see Life Groups as a way to help you become a reproducing disciple of Jesus in ways that are difficult to receive on a Sunday morning.

Who Leads a Life Group?

Life Groups typically have a leader or a couple of people who facilitate and organize the group, but much of what happens in a Life Group is often discussed as a group as they seek to fulfill the mission of Jesus together. 

Huron Chapel wants to see you grow as a disciple of Jesus that makes disciples who make disciples.  We encourage you to join a Life Group and build relationships with others in the church body.  

The Elders and pastors of Huron Chapel are passionate about the church’s Life Groups ministry and are there to support you as a Life Group in a number of ways:

• • They can help you in finding material to use for your study.

  • They can support you with any questions you have on how to organize your Life Group so that it works for your group.

  • They can offer suggestions of where you might be able to serve the community as a group.

  • They are part of the leadership team (including Deacons) at Huron Chapel so they are able to share what other ministries at Huron Chapel are doing, and what events might be coming up that would be good for your group to know.

  • They are a connection point for new people that are looking for a Life Group to join.

  • They are a point of connection between the Life Groups and the greater church body if there are needs or opportunities that you would like the church family to know.

  • They are also always on the lookout for where there might be a need for a new group, as well as looking to identify possible leaders for Life Groups.

If there is anything we can do to help you, or if you have any other comments or ideas, we would love to talk to you – and you can contact any one of the pastors, Elders, or the Life Group leaders.
