Fall 2026 Small Groups
New Life Community Church

You are invited to join us for our
Fall 2026 Small Group Session…

Welcome to the Breaking Free Small Group Study Guide, a six-week journey designed
to help you experience the freedom Christ promised. Whether your struggle is obvious
or hidden, this study will help you identify the strongholds that keep people trapped
and discover the biblical principles that lead to lasting transformation.
Each week builds on the previous one as we explore God’s Word together, engage in
honest discussion, and take practical steps toward spiritual freedom. Through the
weekly sermon, video teaching, group conversations, and five-day personal
devotionals, you’ll move beyond simply identifying the problem to experiencing the
power of God’s solution.
During these six sessions you will discover how to:
 Recognize the strongholds that quietly take control of your life.
 Renew your mind with God’s truth instead of believing the world’s lies.
 Break free from the grip of gambling and the false promise of quick riches.
 Experience God’s design for purity and authentic intimacy.
 Defeat the endless pursuit of “more” by learning the secret of contentment.
 Build lifelong habits that help you walk in freedom every day.
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” John 8:36 (NKJV)
Our prayer is that by the end of these six weeks you won’t simply know more about
freedom—you will be living in it.
Look through the catalog and choose the group that best suits you. You can choose
one or multiple groups we just ask that you GET CONNECTED!
Our Winter 2026 Small Groups will begin Sunday, September 20, 2026 and can last
through Saturday, October 31, 2026.
 Just enough time to grow spiritually and make new connections.
 There is a group which is perfect for you!
“For where two or three are gathered in My name I am here among them.”
Matthew 18:20 (NIV)

What do you love about Small Groups?

New Life Community Church’s small group system is intentionally designed to be the primary environment where authentic, biblically functioning community is formed and lived out. Rooted in the model of Acts 2:42-47, small groups go beyond Bible study to become the place where the “one another” commands of the New Testament are practiced through love, accountability, service, prayer, and mutual care. Through a fivefold purpose-Honor (Worship), Connect (Fellowship), Grow (Discipleship), Serve (Ministry), and Reach (Evangelism)-small groups help believers express daily worship to God, build meaningful relationships, grow spiritually through Scripture and accountability, care for one another’s practical needs, and actively reach those who are not yet connected to Christ or the church. Each group maintains an “open chair,” reflecting a continual posture of invitation, multiplication, and mission.

Strategically, New Life Community Church’s small groups operate in a safe, participatory, and Bible-centered environment that promotes spiritual maturity and leadership development. Groups emphasize self-discovery rather than lecture, uphold confidentiality, and create space for authenticity and vulnerability while affirming the authority of Scripture. Leaders and apprentices- called “Base Champions” -intentionally steward the five purposes within each group, gradually empowering members to take ownership and grow as leaders. The system prioritizes balanced weekly engagement across worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and mission, while remaining sensitive to seekers and new believers. Through a clear leadership development and multiplication process, small groups are designed not only to care for people
but to raise up disciples who can lead others, ensuring long-term health, growth, and impact for the church and the community.

What Are Small Groups?

Small Groups meet once a week.
Each meeting is just 90 minutes long.
Groups meet 6 times during the session.

It’s a short-term commitment, but the positive impact on your life will be long term.
