Become a part of Cornerstone's Life Teams!
Life Teams
Part of being a church family is to care for others. One way to establish close ties with other Christians is to become involved in a small group. At Cornerstone we refer to our small groups as "Life Teams." A Life Team serves as your rescue in times of need, encouragement in times of struggle, and celebration in times of good.
Why Life Teams?
Life Teams help you find a place to belong, a group of people who know your specific needs and prayers. Life Teams follow the Biblical example of the early church:
Acts 2:42-47
42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Romans 12:10
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
What Happens in a Life Team?
While prayer and discussion of curriculum are key elements of a Life Team, the driving force behind Life Teams is to build relationships.
Life Teams are designed to be encouraging environments where people feel free to be themselves. There’s also a commitment to be available to meet each other’s needs.
What if I already meet in a Small Group Study?
One of the goals of Life Teams is to multiply. Each team should start (multiply) a new Life Team within 18-24 months. This allows others to experience the Life Team relationship.
A “Typical” Life Team Meeting
Our recommended Life Team structure is a three-part agenda for every meeting and which lasts from 1.5– 3 hours. Each part of the agenda shares equal importance, but not necessarily equal time.
- The first element of every Life Team meeting should be a time of socializing, and usually involves sharing food.
- The lesson itself may take as much as 50% of your group’s meeting time and the lesson may be taught by a leader or may be DVD led.
- Each Life Team shares prayer requests and spends time in large group prayer.
