LIFEgroup

God didn’t intend for us to do life alone, but instead to share our joys and struggles with others who could encourage, support, and challenge us. LIFEgroups are small groups of people that gather once a week in homes, restaurants, and online to hang out and study the Bible together. Being a part of a LIFEgroup is one of the best ways to get to know other people at The Exchange and to grow individually or as a couple.
