What Are Life Groups?

Life Groups are small gatherings where we come together to share life, build meaningful relationships, and grow in our faith. These groups are not necessarily Bible studies or classes, they’re about connection. In Life Groups, we laugh, pray, encourage one another, and walk through life together.

Why Join a Life Group?

Build genuine friendships

Find encouragement and support

Share life’s ups and downs in a safe place

Grow together in Christ

Small Groups

Discerning the Voice of God
This small group will walk through Priscilla Shirer’s Discerning the Voice of God , the study is designed to help us grow in recognizing God’s guidance. Together, we’ll explore how humble obedience and surrender open the door to His blessings, align us with His will, and teach us to hear His voice more clearly in our daily lives.

Led by Alissa Holm & Jen Wiley
The 410 at Valleybrook
Wednesdays at 6:30 PM

The Bait of Satan This small group will study John Bevere’s The Bait of Satan, which uncovers how offense can trap believers, damage relationships, and pull us away from God’s will. Together, we’ll learn how to recognize and avoid this snare, overcome a victim mentality, and walk in the freedom Christ offers. Through teaching, discussion, and prayer, we’ll discover how to stay free from offense and protect our relationship with God and others.

Partnering (Membership) with Valleybrook Small Group

This 4-week small group is designed to help you connect with others and with Pastor Travis while exploring what membership (partnering) means at Valleybrook. Together, we’ll talk about why church partnership (membership) matters, discover your unique spiritual gifts, and gain a deeper understanding of who we are and where God is leading us as a church. The group will cover a variety of topics, while working through I Am A Church Member by Thom Rainer.

Whether you’re new to Valleybrook, considering membership, or already a member, this is a great opportunity to ask questions, meet others, grow in your faith, and see how God may be calling you to serve. At the end of the class, you’ll have the chance to prayerfully consider stepping into partnership with Valleybrook.

Support Groups

Finding Freedom

Galatians 5:1 tells us, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…” Jesus desires for us to experience freedom in every area of our lives, yet many Christian men struggle to live in that freedom, particularly when it comes to sexuality. We are all sexual beings impacted by sin, and if you’re seeking to understand how to move toward wholeness and freedom in this area, you’re invited to join this small group. We’ll begin by studying “Surfing for God”, a powerful resource that helps guide men toward true freedom.
