What are LifeGroups?
Mountain View exists to make Christ known as we passionately love Him together. Our aim is simple: to grow as disciples of Jesus and help others do the same.
LifeGroups at Mountain View
LifeGroups are where real growth happens. They’re small groups of people committed to following Jesus together—learning, praying, encouraging one another, and doing life in community.
Most groups follow the academic calendar, running August through May, and pausing or slowing down during the summer. Each year, we invite anyone not yet in a LifeGroup to jump into Biblical community and discipleship.
Whether you're new here or have been here a while, there's a place for you in a LifeGroup.
LifeGroup Member Expectations
If you are new to LifeGroups at MVCC, we hope you feel joyfully welcomed with no expectations as you check out various groups!
For those who have visited the same group two times and want to continue attending as a member, there are two expectations that we ask all members to commit to for the academic year:
1 Regular Attendance
Attending at least 3 out of 4 groups a month between August and May.
2 Active Engagement
Viewing LifeGroup as a place not just to receive, but to give. This is seen through:
- Participating in group discussion
- Helping with the logistical needs of the group
- Seeking to develop true relationship with others in the group
Discipleship Groups
Many LifeGroups include Discipleship Groups (D-Groups) within them. These are smaller groups of 2–5 adults of the same gender that meet about twice a month. D-Groups provide a focused space for deeper accountability, Scripture reading, prayer, and pursuing holiness together.
Together, we believe that Sunday services, LifeGroups, and D-Groups are three foundational ways that together allow us to grow best as disciples of Christ that all lead to gospel influence to others.
How to Choose a LifeGroup
Take a look at all the LifeGroups listed on our Church Center hub as you consider these helpful tips. Groups will be marked with either an "open" or "closed" status. If a group is "open", they will either be marked as "high capacity" or "limited capacity". Groups marked as "closed" are currently "at capacity". Once you find a group that you’d like to try, you can contact the LifeGroup leaders directly for more information OR fill out the contact form below and we can help you find a group near you!
Location - Start by looking at LifeGroups in your neighborhood and surrounding area. Proximity will fuel opportunities to be missional and build community. To help find a LifeGroup in your area, we have separated Fort Collins into four quadrants, separated by College and Drake.
Current Relationships - Ask those you know are attending a LifeGroup if you can join them.
Demographics & Focus - LifeGroups are diverse in terms of people/families involved, their focus, and the meeting day and time.
Visit a Few - We encourage you to check out 2 or 3 LifeGroups before deciding where to plug in.
