What is Life Groups?
Life Groups are our way of connecting to those in our community at the South Campus and a way for all of us to develop a deeper relationship with Christ.  Specifically, they are small group Bible studies that are held in homes in the South Campus region. This setting allows for more discussion of the Biblical truths being studied so that real life application can be made. Children are welcome and will be directed in their own age appropriate study of Biblical truths that will be sure to direct their lives Godward. Life Groups also allow you to develop close relationships with others near where you live and fosters community that is centered on Christ.

Life Groups meet on Sunday nights, 6:00 – 7:30 PM. 
New semester begins Sunday night, March 14, 2010 with a meet and greet fellowship at each location.  New semester Bible studies begin Sunday night, March 21, 2010. For more information about locations, please join us Sunday mornings and/or Wednesday evenings at South Campus or call 366-1353 or email us at Southcampus@fbcjax.com.
