Life Groups

Life Groups are small community groups. This is a safe place for you to grow spiritually and connect with others in your walk with God.

A large church can be overwhelming, and without community it's not enough for the spiritual development of yourself and your family. Being a part of a Life Group is a significant part of The Journey.

We offer childcare for Wednesday night and Thursday morning Life Groups. Click the button to register!

  • Good Boundaries & Goodbyes

    Leader: Amber Clark
    When: Begins COMING SOON
    Where: TBD
    Contact: TBD

    Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary? Do you understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries? Can you determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you, based on how responsible they’ll be with that access? Overcome the frustrating cycle of ineffective boundary-setting with realistic scripts and practical strategies to help you communicate, keep, and implement healthier patterns.

  • Setting Boundaries and Laying Expectations: When to say Yes and when to say no

    Leader: Dr. James Johnson
    When: Begins Septmeber 9 • Wednesdays @ 6:30pm
    Where: Room 104
    Contact: james@keys4.org

    Setting proper boundaries is a serious problem facing people at all ages and in all levels of life. Questions like: 1. Can I set limits and still be a loving person? 2. What are legitimate boundaries? 3. What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries? 4. How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? 5. Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries? 6. Howdo boundaries relate to mutual submission within marriage? 7. Aren’t boundaries selfish? Misinformation about the Bible’s answers to these issues has led to much wrong teaching about boundaries. Not only that, but many clinical psychological symptoms, such as depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, addictions, impulsive disorders, guilt problems, shame issues, panic disorders, and marital and relational struggles, find their roots in conflicts with boundaries. We will look at a biblical view of boundaries: what they are, what they protect, how they are developed, how they are injured, how to repair them, and how to use them. And how to use them to discover what God plans for you.
