FAQs:  Frequently Asked Questions


What are Life Groups?

Life groups include 12-18 individuals that meet weekly or bi-monthly in homes for a period of 10-12 weeks.  A BridgePointe Life Group is a safe place to be yourself, pursue God and make some new friends.  


What happens in a Life Group meeting?

Each Life Group meeting includes fun fellowship time as well as a time to apply God's Word to our daily lives.  Prayer is also an important part of connection with God and others.  These meetings will last no longer than 2 hours.


When do I join a Life Group?

At BridgePointe we have 3 semesters of life groups in each calendar year.  January-April, June-July, and late August-November.  Sign up months are January, May and August.  Watch the bulletin and website and listen for Sunday announcements so you’ll know when to register for a group.  You are free to remain in the same group or switch groups at the session breaks.
 

Can I join a group mid-semester?

It is best to time your entry into a group when the groups begin each semester.  This helps the group to get to know each other well and build trust in one another as the study material is used.  If you are looking for a way to get involved and you are in between life group semesters, we would highly recommend that you following: 

1. Attend Inside BridgePointe. Click HERE for description

2. Sign up for a GROWTH GROUP. Click HERE for description

3. Serve on a ministry team. Attend Quarterly "Pulse" meetings to meet ministry leaders. Pulse is held Sunday evenings once a quarter. Watch the Sunday bulletins for upcoming dates.


Why does BridgePointe follow a 3-semester schedule for groups instead of groups that last a year or two or more?

8-12 week meeting periods offer adults the opportunity to “mix in” and meet different circles of people over the course of the year.  The limited semesters afford easy ‘on’ and ‘off’ ramps for individuals and couples.  They can switch groups as their needs or schedules change or sign up for the same group when a new semester begins.
