Community. Each Day.

Life Groups are the foundation of how we connect at City Hill:

Where community is lived out each day…” If you’ve been around for a while, you know we’ve tried out quite a few different models for Life Groups. Every model is different, with different strengths and weaknesses, but community is too fundamental to the gospel not to be constantly iterating and improving. In our current style, there are 2 paths. Core or Freestyle. Core groups are a place to find solid, weekly, community. No theme or agenda other than to be the local church, bear one another’s burdens, grow in Christ and Christ-like love for one another, and watch that love overflow outside to others. Freestyle groups are just that… Free-Style! If God is calling this moment in your life to a specific focus, cause, demographic, subject, anything… Freestyle groups are a place to walk that out in Christ-centered community.

Decisions, decisions…

CORE

  • Weekly Meetings

    • Meet + Eat + Meet + Church Event = 1 Month of a Core LG (In a month with 5 weeks, talk about serving as group somewhere!)

  • Sermon-based Content

    • Discussion questions provided to the group each week to use. No need to build content!

    • Dig deeper into the scripture referenced in the message!

    • Connect across groups with similar topics to discuss and compare.

FreeStyle

  • Custom Cadence

    • At least monthly, but any other frequency works!

  • Custom Content

    • Freedom to move where God is calling you.

    • Must be spiritually directed.

    • Must be for community formation.

 
 

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. - Hebrews 10:24-25

Discipleship Community: Intercessory Prayer & Healing

1st & 3rd Wednesdays @ 7:30 - 9:00 pm

We’ve grown from a prayer and support group for parents with teenagers and adult children to an intercessory and healing prayer group. Come to one of our meetings and we will pray with you, for yourself or whoever you have a burden for.  Children do not attend.

Contact: Steve & Mary Bradley

Where: Richfield

Discipleship Community: Transformation

1st & 3rd Tuesdays @ 7:00 - 9:00 pm

A place to support each other and grow closer to Jesus. Transformation isn’t about being more disciplined or trying harder, but establishing a life-giving connection where Jesus fills your heart’s deepest desires for love, significance, belonging, freedom, security, and more. God’s change strategy isn’t focused on fixing your bad behavior, but on filling your heart with himself. Experiencing desire fulfilled changes what you want - and that makes change easy! Children do not attend.  

Contact: Bob & Val Flynn

Where: Eden Prairie

Living Within Pain

2nd & 4th Thursdays @ 6:30 - 8:00 pm 

Living with the chronic pain of depression, anxiety or physical conditions can cause us to miss out on the joys of life. The Word, however, tells us that Christ came to “give us life and life more abundantly”. Despite our circumstances, this life is available to all of us. “Freedom Within Pain” is a support group for anyone living with chronic mental, emotional or physical pain. In this group, we will share our struggles as well as our successes, look into God’s Word, and support each other in prayer. You do not need to walk through the pain alone. Children do not attend.
