Life Groups are where real life happens at Pathway! For many of us juggling work, family, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel disconnected. Life Groups give you a space to develop meaningful relationships and grow in your faith alongside people who get what you’re going through. Whether you're looking for encouragement, accountability, or just a place to be real, Life Groups are where community becomes personal. It's not about having all the answers—just showing up and doing life together.

New Group Dinner is the best way to get plugged into a Life Group! Before attending, you’ll fill out a short form to help us match you with a group that fits your stage of life and schedule. At the dinner, you’ll meet your new group, start building relationships, and learn what makes a Life Group thrive. It’s a fun, welcoming evening designed to help you take your next step in community.

To support your life group as you set out on mission throughout your city, Pathway offers a Life Group Serve Partnership Fund. We hope this will allow your group to engage with your community without a financial burden. This money can be used to purchase anything needed to pull off your idea. Click the button below to complete the application, and our team will respond within two weeks.

To get you started we have included a list of local ministries with whom Pathway currently partners. But the world is your oyster—dream big and bring us your best idea! We can’t wait to hear the incredible ways you are going to engage those around you.
