A guide for finding a small group at Calvary

1. Fall Guide

2. LIFEGroup:
A group of individuals who share their
lives through formative, caring, and
missional relationships to the glory of
God.
FORMATIVE
Every member of the group is being formed into the
image of Christ
CARING
The members of the group sacrifice as necessary to
meet the needs of one another
MISSIONAL
The group finds it’s purpose as it adopts the mission
of Christ in the world
Calvary consists of many communities of people, some
who meet formally and some who meet informally. We
choose to call these groups “LIFEGroups”.
Our groups are based on the idea that we desire to cre-
ate as little structure as needed to provide for as much
growth as possible. Because we have so many differ-
ent types of LIFEGroups, we created this guide to help
you find a LIFEGroup to connect with.

Using This Guide:
All the groups listed in this group are listed with the
name of the group’s contact person. Each contact per-
son is listed in the Directory at the end of the guide.
Should you desire more information about any of these
groups, you can receive that information from the
group’s contact person.
Two lists are included in this guide. The first list is
sorted by the day and time of the group’s regular meet-
ings. This listing also includes the location of meetings
and the life stage of the typical group member. If the
most important factors in finding a group are location or
time, this list will be of the most benefit to you.
The second list is sorted by the life stage of the typical
group member. While many of our groups are open to
all people, this list generalizes to help you get a feel for
the stage of life of the majority of people in the group.
Finally, we have several groups which are targeted at
specific groups of people (men, women, singles, etc.).
These groups are also included in both lists.
