As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
Life Groups are the heart of IPF. While we love the services on Sunday, the midweek groups are where much of church life happens. We believe that being a church member is much more than having your name on a list, and more than just showing up on Sundays to hear a message. We ARE the church, each one of us, and all together we are IPF. It's about loving and learning and serving...and eating :-). We love to do life together and we want every member of our IPF congregation to have a life group where we can talk and not just listen; where we can pray for others and be prayed for; where we can create real heart connections with each other.
Every new person who comes to IPF and decides to hang around, will be directed to a Life Group. In these groups we will worship together, hear an anointed message, discuss the Word, serve each other and spend a great evening with each other. Each group is different. Some are family oriented, others may be adult only. But all will be places where we connect. Come check out the Life Groups and we're sure they will be a highlight in your week.
Life is Better Together: Small Group Summer Season Launches May 7!
The Invitation
Church isn’t just a place we go; it’s a family we belong to. This season, we are inviting everyone—from students to seniors—to step out of the rows and into a circle. Our small groups are the primary place where we grow in Christ, support one another, and experience the power of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives.
The Content
We've been studying the book of Acts for a while now and it's been powerful! Now we'll be launching into the book of Romans (except in the marriage group, which has it's own curriculum). What a powerful book! There's nothing quite like walking through books of the Bible methodically, gleaning more and opening up to God's revelation as the Holy Spirit teaches us. It's definitely worth joining a group!
...for many reasons.
So Why Join a Group?
