God is CloserLife Groups
Revamping for 2008
- Each week hundreds of people gather on different days of the week and in various homes and locations around the Greater Victoria area. Small groups are a place where people can connect and belong. Each week Bible teaching facilitators lead group discussions on topics relevant to the needs and issues of everyday life. SEE BELOW for a list of Groups.

What do you do at a "Life Group"?

The meeting takes place most often in people's homes. Life Groups begin with an interactive discussion on subjects related to everyday living followed by refreshments.

Starting Soon in many Life Groups, a new study called "God is Closer than You Think" by John Ortberg. Check the listings below to see who, where and when these studies are taking place around Victoria.
