Life Groups
Life Groups are the small group expression of The Bridge. We encourage everyone to meet with us on Sunday mornings for a great time of worship & building relationships, but we know that it’s hard to really get to know people in a crowd! We value relationships so we hope you’ll find a Life Group that really interests you.
Click here to search for a Life Group or browse below.
Grow groups are designed to help you learn about following Jesus… not just to learn, but to live it out as well. Bible study and prayer are common activities in these groups. We think a Grow group should be on everyone’s calendar each week!
Relate groups can also be a lot of fun. They are focused around activities or hobbies that people enjoy. If you are looking for a group of people that share your interests, you’ll find them in a Relate group.
Serve groups are focused outward—toward the people around you. Want to make a difference? In the church or in the community? A Serve group is for you!
Anyone is welcome to join a Life Group—whether they attend Sunday meetings at the Bridge or not. It’s a chance to build relationships throughout our community; relationships that help us “Discover, Experience, Relate and Grow… Together!” Those are the core values of The Bridge, and they are central to the Life Group experience.
To find out more information about a particular group or to sign up for participation, you may email or call the group leader, or email lifegroups@thebridgeparis.com.
These Life Groups meet until Sunday, 8 July, before taking a break for summer holidays.
