What are Life Groups at Calvary?
Life can get complicated, and you weren’t designed by God to tackle it all alone. Life Groups at Calvary happens to be one of the ways that we can learn to walk through our Christian faith together. This is where we can do life together, and learn more about God in a safe environment. A life group can look like a bible study, a topical study, a social gathering, an activity based group, or a group that gathers over a shared interest. The goal, regardless of the type of group, is to grow together in our faith, prayer together, and care for each other!

How to Join
We have numerous Life Groups for you to choose from! Have a look below to browse through all the currently active groups that have availability. Email the group leader to join or find out more information. You are welcome to join any group, regardless of which campus you attend!

Life Group: Adults - Rebel and Corinne Storms
Leader: Corinne Storms
The health of the soul is too often overlooked in the busyness of everyday life, this study will trade the typical and surface-level "How are you?" for the question that gets to the heart of the matter: How's your soul? In the rush of living moment to moment, many of us find ourselves simply surviving, struggling daily with frustration, restlessness, boredom, and the rush to find ever-fleeting joy. But when we pause, we find the things that matter most in life are rooted in the health of the soul. |

Life Group: Couples - Bev & Errol Young (Full Group)
Leader: Bev Young
We will be studying "The Book of Nehemiah" using the Right Now Media video and study guide by Eric Mason. "Whether we've felt spiritually stale or devoured by doubts, we've all wanted God to renew us. But what does spiritual restoration even look like? The book of Nehemiah tells the story of God's power to restore his people. As Israel returned from exile to the Promised Land, they found the walls of Jerusalem in shambles. So God equipped Nehemiah to rebuild the wall and lead the discouraged Israelites. In this series Eric Mason shows us how God renewed his people both physically and spiritually. Through the story of Israel's plight and God's faithfulness, we see God preserved his people to carry out his mission of redemption." |
