Life Groups
journey together
WestPark Life Groups are where we “journey together” with others. In Life Groups we deepen discipleship, grow in biblical community and step out to share the gospel. No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, we want to help you take the next step in your relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that the best environment for significant spiritual growth to happen is in a place of authentic biblical community.

Through these features we can live out the great commission ( Matt.28:19-20 ) and the great commandment ( Matt .22:37,39 )
Where do LifeGroups fit in our church’s overall values and mission?
You can read about our mission and vision here. We challenge everyone who considers WestPark their church to prioritize three regular engagements ( in addition to their own personal spiritual practices )
-
Community – in Life Groups we experience authentic relationships and life transformation in smaller gatherings with others.
-
Discipleship – spending time directly in the Word and/or through a plethora of resources we deepen our growth.
-
Outreach – participating in opportunities for service we can serve others as well as share the gospel.
As you can see, Life Groups are absolutely vital to our church's overall value's and mission. They are at the heart of what it means to fully participate at WestPark.
