F.A.Q.s about LifeGroups
What
are LifeGroups?
LifeGroups
is FCC network of small groups. It is an opportunity
for every FCC attendee to build meaningful relationships
with fellow attendees, as well as reach out to family,
co-workers, acquaintances, neighbors and friends. At
FCC, we believe the church must grow larger AND smaller
at the same time. LifeGroups makes that possible by
building meaningful relationships in a small group setting.
