SrHi Life Group Curriculum

Our Life Group curriculum is a la carte. Huh? That means you’re in charge of what your group is going to study in 3 week chunks. The curriculum is broken up into 3 categories. Bible Knowledge, Topical Knowledge and Spiritual Disciplines. Make it your goal to do one series from each category this year. The only exception is that in January all of our Life Groups will be going through the same curriculum.

Click on a box to download the necessary PDF files. You might also need a DVD to be delivered to your host home (which Sara will get for you once we know what you’re planning). Don’t forget to let Sara know when your group will be going through a particular curriculum.
