Community Groups are a huge part of Living Hope Church. This is where we build community by doing life together and impact our cities in practical ways.
Our Community Groups stand on 5 pillars which are:
- Create genuine friendship
- Form Gospel-centered and missional community
- Lively prayer together
- Express and experience the Spirit-filled life
- Reach out to the world and other Christians through love and social action
