Life Groups

As much as we love gathering together on Sundays, some of the most meaningful moments of church life happen around a living room during the week. That's where friendships grow, faith is strengthened, prayers are shared, and we truly become family.

We believe that being part of a church is about so much more than having your name on a membership list or attending a Sunday service. We are the church—every one of us. Together, we are the IPF family.

Life Groups are where we laugh together, learn God's Word together, encourage one another, serve each other, pray for one another...and yes, enjoy some great food together too! 😊 They're a place where everyone can participate, ask questions, share what God is doing in their lives, and build genuine, lasting relationships.

That's why every person who makes IPF their church home is encouraged to join a Life Group. It's one of the best ways to get connected and experience the life of our church family.

Each week our Life Groups gather to worship, hear an anointed message, discuss God's Word, pray for one another, and simply enjoy spending time together. Every group has its own personality. Some are geared toward families, while others are designed for adults. But every Life Group is built around the same purpose: helping people grow closer to God and closer to one another.

We invite you to visit a Life Group and experience it for yourself. We believe you'll discover authentic friendships, loving encouragement, and a place where you truly belong. It just might become the highlight of your week!
If you'd like, I can also make it sound even more family-oriented and Spirit-filled, reflecting the warm culture of IPF.

What's going on in Small Groups?
We are studying in 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?

• Find Your People: Build friendships that go deeper than Sunday morning "small talk."                                                     .
• Grow Your Faith: Discover how the Holy Spirit connects us to Christ through shared prayer and Bible study.
• Find Your Purpose: Discover how God wants to use your unique gifts to serve others.                                                  .
