Doing Life Together

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
~Acts 2:42

 

Our God is a God of relationships, and life groups are a safe space to share, learn, and grow in Christ together.

We all need to walk alongside others in order to learn, grow, be challenged, embrace our differences, encourage one another, and be centered on Jesus Christ. Life is meant to be lived in community, not in solitude. Let’s walk alongside each other as we will dig deeper and journey through life, together.

We offer so many opportunities to get connected! Check out our selection of life groups, interest groups, and care groups. If you have questions about life groups or are interested in leading a group, please email discipleship@cornerstonenj.org.
