Having a circle of friends – your people – that you can count on is important. You’re busy and life can be crazy, and maybe you may feel disconnected or lonely. We get it and are here to help.
Lifegroups are a place to take a break from those busy demands of everyday life. They are a place to build authentic friendships – connect with friends, laugh, and serve together. Hang out with your people, love Jesus and each other and experience community – that’s where life growth happens.
Set yourself up for success, get connected in a Lifegroup because life is better together and we all need community!
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
There are groups meeting in the Minooka, Channahon, Shorewood, Joliet, Morris, Coal City and Seneca communities on different days of the week. If you aren’t local, we even have online lifegroups available! Some groups meet every week, some meet every other week, some meet throughout the year and some meet for a shorter season. Most groups meet between 1-2 hours, some have snacks or meals and some do not. Ready to get started?
Check out a roundtable with one of our men’s groups for an honest, authentic conversation about groups.
Our groups are for anyone and everyone! We have Lifegroups for couples, singles, families, men only or women only! There are also groups based on hobbies and interests!
Beginners welcome! You don’t need to be a Bible expert to be part of a Lifegroup. There’s a place for you!
Specialty Lifegroups are offered at The Village to dig deeper into God’s word during a specific life experience. If you are looking for direction, you are not alone!

The Embrace Grace group is a 12-week Bible-based support group that teaches about God’s love and grace. Embrace Grace provides emotional, practical, and spiritual support for young women who find themselves in an unexpected pregnancy. The mission is to be a safe and nonjudgmental place for these young women when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt. Contact Shannon for more information about Embrace Grace.
The Village Lifegroups do devotions, Bible studies or book studies using a variety of platforms. Discussion Guides and Videos are available for Lifegroups to follow along with particular sermon series to dive deeper into a message subject.
