Lifegroups: the heartbeat of Antioch

The earliest Christians met together in homes sharing meals and possessions, loving God and each other, and always welcoming newcomers (Acts 2:42-47). We embrace this as our model for Christian community by building and supporting small group meetings (what we call, Lifegroups) in homes throughout Brighton and the surrounding neighborhoods. We consider Lifegroups the heartbeat of our church.

Lifegroups are a great way to connect with God and with other people at Antioch Brighton. While Lifegroups may vary in focus, you can generally expect time for prayer, worship and Bible study, as well as time for connecting with others and building friendships. Our Lifegroups are open to all, and visitors are always welcome. Lifegroups are a great place to see your life transformed by the presence of Jesus as we experience Him together in community. Find a place of deeper belonging in one of our current Lifegroups below!

Lifegroup core values

Word-Centered: we submit to Jesus by honoring and obeying His Word as we are empowered by His grace.

Presence-Based: we eagerly desire the Holy Spirit’s activity as we partner with God in prayer, worship, and the practice of spiritual gifts.

Kingdom-Relationships: we pursue authentic fellowship by humbly and sacrificially choosing to love and relate to one another God’s way.

Mission-Focused: we embrace the call to be disciple-makers of all people as we reproduce our lives and ministry while compassionately caring for others and introducing them to the Good News of Jesus.

Lifegroups for adults and families

We desire to see the book of Acts come alive by devoting ourselves to consistent fellowship, prayer, and growth.

Our intention is to see people grow in relationship with Jesus and increase in passion for Him and His purposes. Lifegroup provides a place for us to encounter God together and dream about how He wants to work with us to minister to our city.
