Life is meant to be shared. God intends for us to experience life together. The Bible calls this fellowship. Real fellowship is much more than just showing up at weekend services. It is experiencing life together. It includes unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, sympathetic comforting, and more “one another” experiences. When it comes to fellowship, size matters – smaller is better.
Check out all of Cornerstone's small groups. Our next semester of life groups begin in February, 2012.
Cornerstone calls our small groups "Life Groups," for more information contact:

If you are still not sure that a Life Group is right for you, then read what recent participants had to say about the experience.
"...It is worth it! Not only is it nice to learn more about what the Lord wants from us but it is such a blessing to meet people who feel the same way you do. When the group is over you still have those connections with the people you met.”
“...Life Group is a great opportunity for you to grow spiritually and to connect with other people at Cornerstone“.”
“...It will be very hard to get to know any people in the church without a life group . Life Groups will fill the relationships that you need to enjoy church etc.”
“...The Life Groups are very rewarding in developing close relationships with those you would not normally develop during regular services.”
“...it is important to get out of your comfort zone and connect with other people that may be outside your normal circle of influence. It may seem like you may not have enough time or that you may not need to be in a Life Group, but if you make the commitment you will be blessed plus you have the added benefit of being a blessing to others in the group.”
"...We grew closer to most of the participants. Getting to know people at the church was made easier through this activity. We feel connected now."
"...as a newer member of the Cornerstone family, the Life Groups are the best way to connect to other members. I was forced to take my eyes off myself - my issues and my challenges - and realize that other people face challenges also. That forced me to focus my faith and my prayers on others....and I am confident that the others in the group did the same for me."
