At Chapel Hill Uniting Church, Life Groups play a very important role in helping us to grow as Christians. There are many kinds of groups that function within our church.  We have a range of groups catering for different groups of people with different needs and interests, and with different meeting schedules.

We believe that Faith Life Groups – small groups of people who meet together on a regular basis to share honestly with one another and to build each other up in their walk with Jesus – are an important way of engaging with our vision and of growing our individual discipleship. They provide unique opportunities for many of the values of CHUC to be encouraged and strengthened.

Faith Life Groups provide a safe, supportive environment for each of us to learn to talk about our faith, to understand more about scripture and the good news of Jesus, to learn to pray together, and to care for one another. In the end, they are a key mechanism for us to ‘gather…so we can scatter’, and in doing so fulfil the great commission.

Jesus could have relied on his public ministry to build His kingdom, but He did not.  He had only three years of ministry, so He chose twelve followers and invested the majority of His trust, knowledge, time and relationship in them.  He became their friend.  They became His family.

The plan of Jesus was basically individual discipleship in a small group setting, listening, discussing, watching, then sharing in the tasks, going out in ministry.
