Life Groups
Gathering to IGNITE a passion for Jesus, the Bible, Church, and Others.
Life groups are the heart of WCC. The early church sets the example of the exponential growth and life-change that comes when we connect in community with other believers. This is why we make it a priority to help our members get connected through a weekly life group meeting. Our life groups meet for the purpose of discipleship with the following goals in mind:
To IGNITE a passion for Jesus.
A passion for Jesus means we love Him and we live like Him. Igniting this passion for Jesus and living our life with Him is a primary focus for our life groups. This is done through encouraging a personal relationship with Jesus, encountering Jesus through biblically based sermons, group discussion, and more.
To IGNITE a passion for the Bible.
A passion for the Bible means we grow in knowledge, wisdom, and obedience of God’s word. Life groups ignite this passion through our sermon-based weekly discussion, studying together, and encouraging one another.
To IGNITE a passion for the Church.
A passion for the Church means we actively participate in learning, serving, and giving opportunities. Life groups ignite this through encouraging one another to serve on a Ministry Team, sacrificially giving, and participating in various church events together as a group.
To IGNITE a passion for Others.
A passion for others means we care for others physically and spiritually. Life groups ignite this through working together to serve our community and beyond. Some ways this is done is through group outreach projects and praying for local, regional, and global missions.

Testimonies
“Our neighbor is a member of the church and was part of a life group. He invited us (multiple times) to join their group. We were hesitant at first as we were not really sure if it was for us. We finally committed to join and have not looked back. We have created long lasting relationships with people who have similar life experiences and are sharing our walk in faith. We have a group that is willing to not only pray for us, but truly do whatever they can to care for us. Because of this group, we have grown in our faith, spent more time reading/studying the Bible, and found something we truly love doing!”
– Justin & Stephanie Vogt
“Our life group has really helped our church experience ascend to the next level. The people in it were super welcoming, and the weekly meeting is now a cemented permanent fixture in our week. We never knew what we were missing until we found it, friends to share the walk of faith with, who you can describe your struggles with and celebrate your triumphs.
If it follows that WCC must continue to grow and bring in more people as its mission, the life group is a necessary corollary of that growth. You can anonymously attend a large church and feel disconnected, unseen, or detached. But a small group of fellow believers can help make the message of the Bible real and accountable. And if you are like we were and unsure if you need that, I assure you that you owe it to yourself to try it.”
– David & Heather Barcal
We knew that the path to getting plugged into WCC was through a Life Group and through opportunities to serve. When searching for a Life Group, we simply wanted to join a group of people who were interested in digging deeper into the word and openly sharing life experiences with each other. We find that the issues that we encounter in our respective lives can be similar and we often share ways that God has moved in our experiences. Contrastingly, sometimes God moves in other’s lives in very different ways and when we share those experiences it offers new perspectives. Our group has also committed to serving the church in various roles and we often find ourselves serving together. Life Group for our family has been a great way for us to develop Christian friendships in a body of individuals who want to know more about God’s will for our lives and how we fit into his plan.
