Lifegroups & Fellowships

Lifegroups

Lifegroups are intentional communities that desire to know Jesus intimately.  Meeting several times a month in homes, we build community with each other through accountability, prayer, and Bible studies.  Our groups are often inter-generational and dynamic in nature with multiplication as our vision.  Through lifegroups, we desire to be active participants in God's missional plan for all peoples.  Lifegroups meet on different days of the week in different locales.

Fellowships

Fellowship groups are larger communities who share similar life stages.  Each group has a unique flavor, but all focus on equipping people to grow in Christ through authentic community and biblical teaching.  Groups meet 2-3 times a month in homes and at church.  We offer fellowship groups for all ages:  youth, college, adult, seniors.

SOPAS [San Gabriel Valley] 6:30 pm
We are an intergenerational group that loves to gather around food and learn about the Word in a relatable and genuine way. We usually have a themed potluck dinner followed by Bible or video study sessions.

Current Fellowships

Trellis Women’s Ministry

Our mission is threefold: 

• Love God by pursuing an intimate relationship with Jesus who shows us how to live meaningful, hope-filled lives while remaining deeply rooted in the Father's love and in His Word.

• Reach out by empowering each other in utilizing our gifts and talents to serve and reach others for Jesus outside of our church walls.

Our Regular Activities Include:

Quarterly themed meetings, WeConnect meals and get-togethers for small groups of sisters several times a year, Sunday School classes and weekly to bi-montly discipleship triad as well as away-retreats.

Agape Fellowship [1st & 3rd Saturdays@ 7:30 PM]

Agape was founded in 1986 by Filipino-Chinese believers with the purpose of studying the Bible together, supporting each other in prayer, and reaching out to the unchurched.

Lifespring [1st & 3rd fridays @ 10 AM]

Lifespring Fellowship is tailored for adults 60 and over. Our hope is that we grow in “body and soul” as we get older. We are serious about knowing God’s Word, and we invite guest speakers to share on a variet of topics. Fellowship is very important at Lifespring. We usually meet on the first, second and third Fridays. Our meetings focus on encouraging each other to stay healthy in our relationship with God, with others and with ourselves. We pray with one another, learn together, do fitness together, go on interesting field trips and discover ways to encourage each other to continue to stay enthusiastic learners who follow hard after God’s heart. Though our regular gatherings are conducted in English, we have representation from all three language speaking congregations from our church.

Koinonia [once a month on Saturdays]

We are seasoned Christians who have journeyed together for decades, through victories and defeats and have seen how the Lord remains faithful. Our hope is for people to come as they are and to share openly knowing that no judgment will be passed.

Renovare Fellowship [Every other Saturday @ 2:00 pm]

While we are an “older” group, we are intergenerational with members of varying ages and life stages! Our fellowship seeks intentional growth in spiritual formation and in becoming more like Jesus. We desire to follow Him in the power of the Spirit, offering caring support and prayer for one another, and outreach to others.

Alpha [varies]

Alpha is a series of group meetings for people looking to create a safe space for conversations about faith. The evening typically starts with a potluck meal followed by a 25-minute video. After the video, the hosts will lead a discussion where you can share your thoughts about life and faith and hear from others in the group!
