Life Groups at Harvest Ridge Church are a place for you to join with a small group of people with the goal of helping each other follow Jesus. It is a great place to meet people! At Life Group, there are always 3 things people gather around: food, Bible and prayer. We believe life change happens in circles, not rows. So, join a circle today!

Life groups usually gather together for a couple hours in a relaxed environment. They often share a meal together, talk about a recent sermon or Bible passage, and pray for each other’s needs. Of course, there is time at the beginning and end to simply hang out together. 

It depends on the group. Most groups meet once or twice per month. Some groups meet weekly. Most groups take a short break for the holidays and summer, meeting consistently during the fall, winter and spring. 

Most groups meet in homes in a city nearby or in North Ridgeville. Some groups meet at Harvest Ridge Church. 

Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.

Feel free to try a different group if the one you try does not seem like the right fit. Simply fill out another I’m Interested form. The simple strategy to finding success in Life Groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group for everyone—including you!
