northbrook Life Groups exists to…

Cultivate spiritual growth through relational connection and missional action.

Real transformation happens best in relationships; it’s more organic than linear – not as much in rows, but in circles where life is shared. While the Bible remains foundational, Christ-centered relationships with other believers create the environment where God’s Word comes to life.

Life Groups can’t do everything, but they can be a place for relational connection and missional action. This is our priority: to become a church that relationally connects the disconnected and missionally engages the disengaged. Groups can’t do everything, but they can be the place where people grow deeper in Christ and step into their God-given purpose.

Life Groups aren’t just an item on our weekly schedule—they’re an essential part of making disciples. Together, we’re creating spaces where spiritual growth happens organically, and lives are transformed for eternity.

We would love to help you find a Life Group that is the right fit for you. Click the button below and fill out the Life Group Connect form or contact Jordan Whitlock to get plugged into a group today.

Off-Campus Life Groups (new)

Homes provide a warm and welcoming environment for newcomers. Home groups follow the New Testament pattern of believers living on mission by practicing genuine hospitality and opening up their lives up to one another.

Interested in trying one out? We have two new groups available:

Dan and Jamie Odle's group will meet on Sundays from 4-6pm at the Abernathy’s home.
Wayne and Robin Cook's group will also meet on Sundays from 5-7pm at Todd and Anna McEvoy's home beginning, March 2.

Space is limited for each group, but we want to give you an opportunity to connect with one of these new Life Groups. We are praying for more off-campus Life Groups to launch in the fall of 2025.

Discover more about Life Groups

Life Groups at Northbrook are central to our mission of equipping Kingdom Investors who grow in Christ with an enduring faith. They are where real spiritual growth happens—through biblical community, intentional discipleship, and living on mission together. In a Life Group, you’ll study God’s Word, build meaningful relationships, and take intentional steps toward spiritual maturity. More than just another social gathering, Life Groups create an environment where transformation happens together.

Life Groups cultivate spiritual growth through relational connection and missional action. They are where transformation happens as we learn, apply, and live out God’s Word together.
Life Groups are at the heart of our mission to equip the religiously saturated to become faithful Kingdom investors who:
1. DWELL in God’s presence daily (spiritual disciplines)
2. DISCOVER their unique God-given purpose (spiritual gifts)
3. DEVELOP through accountable discipleship (spiritual formation)
4. DEPLOY for God’s mission both locally & globally (spiritual mandate)
We are more than just a Bible study or social group. Life Groups are:
- Bible-Centered – God’s Word is our foundation for growth.
- Relationally Driven – We grow best in Christ-centered community.
- Mission-Focused – Our goal isn’t just deeper friendships, but deeper faith and a life lived on mission.
- Study the Bible in community – Learning and applying truth together.
- Commit to consistent involvement – Growth happens over time.
- Build trust – A safe place for honesty, encouragement, and prayer.
- Live generously – Support, encourage, and serve one another.
- Stay connected to the church – Life Groups aren’t separate; they’re part of Northbrook’s mission.
- Live on mission – Individually and as a group, sharing the gospel in everyday life.
- Come expectantly – Trusting the Holy Spirit to work in and through us.
- Shared Ownership – Everyone has a role in making the group healthy.
- Missional Engagement – It’s not just about us; we’re sent out for God’s purposes.
- Openness & Accountability – Speak truth in love, encourage one another.
- Biblical Hospitality – A warm, welcoming space for members and guests.
- Growth-Minded – Our goal is to take the next step in our faith.
Life Groups help you move one step closer to Christ in:
Convictions – Understanding God’s Word.
Character – Living a Christlike life.
Competency – Speaking and applying God’s truth in everyday life personally and with one another.
