Life Group Series: This Is Who We Are
Of all the things we do at Mount Hope Church, with thousands of treasured individuals serving Christ, there is one reason that we do what we do. That reason is to make disciples. It’s all about making disciples that are healthy, growing, and full of love. We don’t want to go through life being good at a lot of things, but not good at the very thing God has called us to do. Though we may have many attributes, here are the unique attributes that set us apart from other communities. These seven scriptural principles serve as guidelines to steer our culture and focus our behavior.
Getting Started in Your Life Group: In this 7-week series, “This is Who We Are,” you’ll be lead with a discussion video, equipping verses to read together, and discussion questions. Each group should be 90+ minutes and about 30 minutes for hanging out afterward.

Before Your Group
Create the right atmosphere by being hospitable. Let’s roll out the red carpet for those coming to our Life Group. Whether that’s meeting them at the door, getting their drinks, or even giving a tour of your home—be sure to help them feel comfortable and taken care of. That mean providing a clean environment too. It sounds very practical, but it speaks volume.

During Your Group
Allow everyone to participate in discussion. Be sure that everyone has the opportunity to speak. Be honest, open, and transparent. Remember to be you, and understand that God has equipped you to leave this group!
Close with prayer. Take time during your Life Group to pray for one another, allowing others to lead in prayer.

After Group
Set time aside for hang out. Whether it’s before or after, be intentional to leave room for people to get to know each other.
Respect others time. It can be easy to get off track and lose track of time, but be sensitive to others responsibilities by closing the group at the time that you set.
Thank everyone for coming. Be sure to thank everyone for coming, and when you do so, set the next time for your next Life Group.
