Lifegroups are how we build community at Reliance Church. In a lifegroup, you’ll connect with other believers and together, you’ll build community and foster spiritual growth. Our lifegroups are where we grow together in our relationship with God and His church.
It is a very relaxed atmosphere, just like going to your friends' house for dinner or to hang out. It is a time where people can enjoy fellowship together, pray, and study the Bible. It is the main way that Reliance Church accomplishes Biblical Community and the "relying on each other" aspect of the mission statement. In this ever increasingly busy world that we live in, it is easy to find that we are more lonely than ever. Lifegroups afford the opportunity to connect with others. God did not design us to do this life alone, but has placed us in a global and local church so that we can be provided with accountability, support, and encouragement.

FAQ:
WHAT IS A LIFEGROUP?
Lifegroups are weekly small groups that meet in homes throughout Pinellas. They are a place where people can experience meaningful relationships centered on the study of the Word.
WHAT DO I EXPERIENCE DURING A LIFEGROUP?
During the Lifegroup gatherings, many of our Lifegroups have sermon-based application discussions. These sermon-based groups specifically focus on how to apply the principles of God’s Word that were discussed on Sunday mornings. Other groups explore pre-selected materials during their group gatherings. In addition to their study, all Life Groups focus on prayer, fellowship and serving the community in which they meet.
WHAT IS THE TYPICAL LIFEGROUP FORMAT?
The typical meeting is about an hour and a half. Most groups start with a social time, including an icebreaker, then move to a 30-45 minute study/discussion and finish with a time of prayer.
WHAT DO MY CHILDREN DO WHILE I ATTEND A LIFEGROUP?
Bring them! We want everyone from young to old to experience community. We view our Lifegroups as a family reunion. We embrace the excitement that comes with it!

Men's and Women's Groups:
In addition to the community of our families gathering for worship and in lifegroups, we also host groups designed for gender specific needs regularly. This helps our ladies to develop a sisterhood and our men to develop a brotherhood as they share and support each other in their walk with Christ.
