Reasons to Join
At Deer Valley, small groups are named "Life Groups." In a Life group you will find a sense of community, stability and security as well as a chance to make lasting friendships with people who really care about you.
It can become your “extended family” at Deer Valley. We call our small groups "life groups," because we want every person involved to experience more out of life. To join a Life Group, fill out a communication card this Sunday! Check the bulletin or call in order to find out the meeting location. Choose from any of the following:

Reasons to Join a Life Group
1. You will understand the Bible better in a small group
In a small group setting, you can ask questions, participate in a discussion of the text, and hear others share insights and illustrations of the truth you are trying to grasp.2. You will begin to really feel like part of God´s family
Most people who have been a part of a group say the greatest benefit is the close relationships and friendships that develop. They will frequently telephone each other during the week to share an urgent prayer request or an exciting answer. You'll discover that your needs and problems are not unique - we´re all in the same boat.3. Prayer will become more meaningful to you
Many people are hesitant to pray in front of others, especially in a large church. In a small group of 6 to 12, you will learn to participate in prayer by having a conversation together with God. In praying together with a few others, we are drawn together and we find answers to the needs in our lives.4. You will be able to handle stress and pressure better
Small groups provide excellent support in times of crisis, change, and stress. You'll have a sense of stability and security knowing there are people who really care for you and are committed to standing with you.5. You will deepen your understanding of worship
Many believers mistakenly believe that worship can only happen on Sunday morning. Worship happens anytime we focus on God. Sometimes that happens best in a smaller group in praying or singing together.6. You will be a New Testament Christian
The book of Acts is very clear about how God intends for his people to grow and have their needs met in the church. We will never be able to hire enough professional pastors to meet all the individual needs in our family. That's why every church member is called to minister to one another.
