GM LIFEGROUPS
The purpose of LifeGroups at GM is to exemplify Galatians 6:2 : "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." We call this living life together.
GM LifeGroups are small groups of adults that meet regularly in someone’s home for connection, prayer, and spiritually driven discussions of depth, with a focus on community.

Childcare Available
We are young families who desire to grow together in godly community. We enjoy forming bonds through sharing collective life experiences and challenges while delving deeper into the teachings and applications of Sunday’s sermon. The bonding isn’t just for the adults; the kids form strong friendships in a community of faith, too! To accomodate group growth, we are meeting at GM on Sunday nights. Bring the kids and find your people!

We are real people, with real struggles who know that life is better when you intentionally grow relationships with Godly families. Finding others who care about you, and will be there when you need them most is what The LifeGroupies is all about. Most of us are parents of elementary-aged kids, and, yes, we love them – but let’s be real – it’s important to set aside time to connect as adults and couples. Everyone is welcome in The LifeGroupies!

Chain Breakers is a lively group that radiates joy, wisdom, authenticity, and worship. We love Jesus, fellowship, food, games, and Dad jokes. We are a diverse group in varying stages of life, but we fit together because we are real people with real testimonies of chains that have been broken. Many of us are parents of elementary & middle school-aged kids (however, childcare is not provided for this LifeGroup.) Expect to be encouraged, challenged, supported, and prayed for as we do life together!

FAQ
A LifeGroup is a small group of adults who gather together on a regular basis to encourage, challenge, discuss, and create community. Essentially it is a place for you to ‘do life together.’

GM LifeGroups meet on a semester schedule, taking place in the fall and spring of each year for approximately 12 weeks each semester. Groups are located throughout the city of Frisco and the surrounding communities.
While every group has a unique personality, all LifeGroups gather for a meal, share laughter and fun with games & icebreakers, followed by discussion of Sunday’s message, and prayer.
Each LifeGroup handles their childcare needs differently. Some offer childcare in the host home, or at a nearby home in the same neighborhood. Often, trusted GM students provide childcare for a nominal fee shared by parents.
LifeGroups that have childcare arrangements are noted in the description.
GM fosters an environment of servant leadership. LifeGroup leaders serve the church and have a heart to contribute. They provide their groups with vision, direction and support. They don’t need to be Bible experts or teachers in order to lead. Leaders are successful when they are active and growing in their own relationship with Christ, and are connected to the vision and values of GM. Leaders are encouraged not to lead alone. They invite co-leaders who offer support and leadership within the group. Each LifeGroup leader is supported by a LifeGroup Captain, who is supported by the LifeGroup Pastor.
