Life Groups

What is Life Groups?

Life Groups is our small group ministry here at BCOC. We have become a very large Church body, and we believe that as we grow larger in number we must be intentional about growing smaller. This is what our Life Groups are designed to do. We believe in the power of community; God himself is community as Father, Son, and Spirit. We were designed to be in community and fellowship with others as well. As a member of a large Church body, you have an opportunity to engage in a large community that can provide a great deal of encouragement. However, we also want everyone to have an opportunity to form deep and meaningful relationships in small, intimate environments. Our Life Groups meet in homes across Johnson/Tarrant County. Other than the frequency with which they meet, Life Groups have the same purpose and function; there is usually a meal, plenty of fellowship, conversation, prayer, and discussion over God’s word. These groups are designed to build significant relationships between us as we journey through Life together.

When Do Life Groups Meet?

Our Life Groups meet September through May. Each Life Group will individually identify the frequency for gatherings that meets the needs of that particular group; including the day and time of each gathering.

Where Do Life Groups Meet?

Most all of the Life Groups meet in homes across Johnson/Tarrant County. Meeting locations typically rotate as members of each group share the responsibility of hosting in their home.

How Do I Join a Life Group?

Life Group signups (typically) begin at the end of August each year. We offer several ways you can start the process of joining a Life Group:

  1. During launch season(August), sign up sheets will be available in your Bible class,
  2. Additional sign up sheets are available in the foyer for a limited number of GEOGRAPHICAL and INTERGENERATIONAL Life Groups,
  3. After launch season, you can fill out a Life Group card located at the Welcome desk or the digital form HERE, OR
  4. If you are a member, log on to My BCOC and type “Life Group” in the search box on the groups page (OR Members can CLICK HERE). You can then select the Life Group of your choice, and click the “Request to Join” button. A Life Group Leader will then be notified of your interest.

Please take the time to do one of the steps mentioned above, and we will get you connected with a Life Group.
