At Epic, Life groups are a big part of who we are and what we do. Joining a life group is one of the best ways to establish intentional relationships that are a key to substained spiritual growth. The Spring Semester begins the week of February 19 and runs for 12 weeks.

If you're new to the life group concept, a life group is a weekly meeting where a group of 10-15 people meet together in someone's home to explore faith and do life together. It's where the church's idea of community and family has an opportunity to be lived out.

If you're wondering what the next step is after coming on a Sunday morning, you've found it. We really believe that taking the step to join a group will be a decision you'll never regret. To join, just sign up here by filling out the form on this page.

We want everyone to be able to attend an Epic life group, so we offer the option for parents to hire a babysitter and Epic will reimburse up to $25 for that expense. Send an email to lifegroups@epicwired.net to request reimbursement.

If you have any questions about life groups, contact us at lifegroups@epicwired.net

*Kid Friendly Groups:  This semester we have two groups classified as “kid friendly” (group #504 and #601). Kid friendly groups are ones in which parents may bring children along. In most cases, members of the kid friendly groups contribute together to hire a babysitter who will watch the children in another room during the meeting time.
