At Belong Church, we believe that life groups play an important role in the discipleship of a believer. Getting involved in a life group empowers you to form deeper relationships with other believers outside of a Sunday service, grow in your faith through the sharing and discussion of the Word of God, and learn how to live out faith in your everyday life.
How We Do Life Groups
Hospitality
Jesus made a point to gather and dine with others. During this time he would eat, teach, evangelise, connect with old friends and celebrate important moments in people’s lives. Thousands of years later we believe in doing the same. Most of our groups get together and connect around a meal. It may be a full blown dinner party, a shared potluck, a BBQ, simple snacks to share or even just a coffee.
Unity
Our groups are hosted all over the North Shore in Auckland, with members of our congregation from all ethnicities, backgrounds in life and ages and stages. We come together with Jesus at the centre, and this empowers us to relate to one other with grace, love and truth. We choose to be unified through Christ and Belong life groups are one of the ways that we practice unity.
Spiritual Maturity
An essential part to our discipleship in Christ is growing in spiritual maturity. We regularly make time and space in our groups for the Word of God, prayer, bible studies, worship, devotionals, sharing and discussion. These practices are powerful ways to grow in faith. Iron sharpens iron.
