Authentic Life Groups
We hope that people would experience loving, genuine, accountable, and committed relationships with one another as a result of their fellowship in Christ. A smaller community of believers who intentionally live life together, grow to spiritual maturity, and on mission.

This guide will hopefully answer all your questions!
What Is a LIFE Group?
A LIFE Group is a committed group of individuals who function as a smaller family within the larger church family, living out our church vision together in Christian community.
So what is our church vision and how does it shape our LIFE Groups?
The focus of the life group is based on the Gospel: discovering the Gospel, being transformed by the Gospel, and sharing the Gospel. We desire to grow in our relationship with God through scripture, prayer, and the Gospel community.
Discipleship is key to the Life group. It is a community that intentionally seeks to follow Jesus together by seeking to be transformed by the Gospel in our everyday life. Life groups meet regularly in homes or at church, and are also encouraged to meet in smaller same-sex discipleship groups as well. Commitment, care, vulnerability, authenticity, and mutual edification are all a part of discipleship.
Mission is also essential to a Life group. Life groups are not just inward focused social groups, but have the intention to reach out to friends, family, coworkers, neighbours and those in need through the power of the Gospel. Life groups seek to multiply by growing, splitting and sending people out.
LIFE Group Leadership and Content
LIFE Groups will be led by leaders and co-leaders who are entrusted to direct and nurture the group in the vision of Gospel, Discipleship and Mission.
Leaders will be discipled and nurtured by the overseeing leadership of elders and pastors.
Content and direction for all LIFE groups will be aligned with the overall church and congregational vision and ministry direction.

Wednesday
Our life group meets every Wednesday at 7:30pm in our members’ homes. Most weeks our group strives to deepen our faiths through guided discussions by means of book studies and manuscript studies. Each month we spend at least one evening to have a time to meet somewhere more casual in smaller groups, where we have the opportunity to share deeper with each other and pray in depth for each other and as we gathering we hope to experience the spirit work among us. We hope and encourage all our life group members to take their deepened faith further each week and bring more light into each of their individual worlds among the people they work with, the people they see on a regular basis and to the people they cross paths with the rest of the days of the week.
Wednesdays @ 7:30 PM
Thursday
We meet weekly in person to study scripture, disciple one another, and share life. Acts 2:42-47 are foundational verses for our group. Our hope is for genuine fellowship with the gospel being the core of our purpose and passion in life. Though we come from all walks of life and from diverse life situations, we want to encourage each other in our personal walk with Christ and in authentic community. We want to be transformed by His grace, and learn to be equipped for the greater mission in making this grace known to others in our everyday lives. Although we're called "Thursday Life Group", we can be adventurous and meet on other days of the week! This year we are looking forward to exploring different activities to engage all members in their personal faith journey.
Weekly on Thursday night
Friday Bible Study
We meet weekly on Friday nights to study the bible together. At CCAC, we believe the holy scriptures are the word of God that teach what we are to believe concerning God and what God requires of us. By gathering together to study God's word, we spur one another on to love and good works.

Naomi Fellowship
Naomi Fellowship is a women’s group that meets monthly, welcoming women of all ages and stages of life. Our gatherings are designed to be a space for connection, encouragement, and spiritual growth.
Inspired by the relationship between Naomi and Ruth, we strive to walk alongside one another as sisters in Christ—offering support, friendship, and companionship on our faith journeys.
In addition to our regular meetings, we host special events 3-4 times a year. Food is almost always part of the experience, giving us the chance to share both meals and meaningful conversations.
