LifeSong Small Groups
They’re bigger than you think!
In times of need and times of fun, LifeSong small groups are your source of friendship and support. They are your key to developing connections with those who share your interests or people who are dealing with similar life issues.
Small groups are an opportunity to reach out to others, while growing in your walk with the Lord. Groups meet once a week all over the Upstate. You’ll never fully experience all that LifeSong Church has to offer until you connect in a small group!
Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
Acts 5:42
Small groups were vital to the church’s growth then, and they are just as vital now.

If you see a group that you like that does not appear on the registration form when you go to sign up that means the group is full.

We enjoy serving others, participating in outreach projects, and engaging in LifeSong events. We meet weekly to embrace God’s Word through various studies and discussions while focusing more on “keeping it real” opposed to putting on a mask for a few hours a week. We fellowship (eat) together, study God’s Word, pray together, have engaging discussions, depend on one another, help each other, laugh, cry and play together and experience life together. We are committed to creating a safe environment where you can be you regardless of what’s in your past or present. Simply, we are family.

We all love volunteering our time helping in different areas in the church and in opportunities given to help outside the church. We, as a group, support two children in Haiti, Patrick and Anita.
