2013 LV Life Group & Classes@Cornerstone calendar

Life Group Launch, Livermore Campus

April 13th & 14th, life groups and their leaders will be available in the courtyard after each service to meet you, answer questions and connect you into a life group. If you are not in a life group, set this weekend aside to get connected.

What is a Life Group?

A Life Group is a small group of people who meet together regularly for Connection, Community, and Spiritual Growth.

Life Groups are where a large church like Cornerstone becomes small.

They are also where lasting friendships and life change happens. If you're not involved in a Life Group, you're missing out on one of the best avenues for spiritual growth and connection to community.

Visit our online Life Group Finder to find a Life Group today. On the Life Group Finder you'll find Life Groups throughout the East Bay including Livermore, Tracy, Mountain House, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Leandro, Castro Valley, San Ramon, Danville, Walnut Creek, Brentwood, Antioch, Discovery Bay, Oakley and more.
