YOU CAN'T DO LIFE ALONE
Life Groups are vital to the life of Searchlight Church. Life is better together. God uses relationships to strengthen the church & our lives individually.
You weren't created to do life alone. Being part of a Life Group means having people you can talk to, depend on, and explore God's Word with. Doing life together is not a suggestion in Scripture, but an essential expression of our faith.
Life Groups are small circles of people who meet weekly for about 8 weeks to pray for each other, grow in their faith, make meaningful connections, and love like Jesus.
To get the most out of our small group experiences, in-person groups will be capped and closed at numbers predetermined by our hosts. First come, first serve.
We'll see you in a circle!
