Lent lIFE GROUPS

Looking to get planted into community here at bel air? groups are a great way to cultivate friendships, have fun, connect with jesus, and serve our amazing city. We have groups from westlake village to west la that meet weekly in person and online. If you are looking for people to do life with, we would love to connect you with a group near you!

Embodied: Being the hands and Feet of Jesus (Lent Sermon Series)

This Lent, we invite every Life Group at Bel Air Church to journey together through Embodied: Being the Hands and Feet of Jesus. This study guide is designed to help us remember that following Jesus begins with receiving His love and then allowing that love to take shape in our everyday lives. As we gather in homes, on campus, and online, this resource will lead us into Scripture, prayer, and honest conversation about what it means to let Christ dwell in us by His Spirit. Together we will explore how small acts of patience, courage, mercy, and presence become the very ways Jesus makes Himself visible in Los Angeles and beyond. Lent is not about striving harder, but about abiding deeper. As a community rooted in Christ and committed to being the Church at Work, may our Life Groups become spaces where His compassion recalibrates our instincts, steadies our voices, and moves our hands toward those in need.

Have a heart for building community?

We’re looking for Lent Group Leaders to host and facilitate a group during the six-week Lent season. You don’t need to be a Bible expert—just willing to create a welcoming space for conversation and spiritual growth. If you’re interested, fill out a short application and we’ll follow up with next steps.

what people are saying…

 

“Life group, it's what it says and more. At first it was a group of random fellow christians, we met weekly, shared a potluck and through the weeks, with love and growth, rooted in God’s word, we are now doing life together. I love each and every member of my group and I count them as my family. I love how Jesus does that, he gives you extra family to love & rejoice & cry & pray & ‘one-another’ with.”

“There are about 60 ‘one another’ exhortations in the New Testament. I have been a Christian over 50 years and I know of no more meaningful way to fulfill these commands than to meet regularly with a small group of Christian friends for conversation and prayer. I don't think we can overstate the value of Life Groups. If you are not yet participating, you are missing something extraordinary.”

— Michael Hostetler

“Cultivating the Community of God is one of the reasons you are on this earth. Doing ‘life’ together - is one of the primary ways we become more like Jesus. Being a part of a Life Group will be deeply fulfilling, and deeply transformative for your soul.”
