    Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, recovery program for anyone struggling with hurts, hang-ups, or habits of any kind.

    Since the beginning of time, men and women have searched for happiness – usually in all the wrong places, trying all the wrong things. But there’s only one place where we can find tested-and-proven principles that will lead to healing and happiness—The Bible! The principles come from the words of Jesus in Matthew 5. Today we call them the Beatitudes.

    These Beatitudes (8 statements) are God’s pathway to wholeness, growth, and spiritual maturity. By working through these 8 principles and the Christ-centered 12 Steps, you will restore and develop stronger relationships with others and with God. Remember, the power to change comes only from God’s grace.

    Sunday @ 5pm (beginning July 7th) Meets at the Reach Center

    Most importantly, it’s about Doing Life Together in real time!

    And guess what, Life Groups are led by ordinary people like you and me with willing minds, caring hearts, and a passion to serve.

    Jesus' final instruction to His followers was to "go and make disciples." As Christ followers, this is a life -long process and not a final destination. We are on a journey to grow stronger and go deeper in our relationship with Him and Life Groups can guide us along the path throughout this journey as well as help us build authentic connections with others.

  • Wednesday Night Series Who is the Holy Spirit, and exactly what does He do? Many people find the Holy Spirit mysterious and confounding. Why is the third person in the Godhead – the one Jesus said would be the believer’s ultimate source of truth and comfort – the source of such confusion?

    Join us at Life Church on Wednesdays @ 7pm as we dig a little deeper and begin a new study by Robert Morris titled, “The God I Never Knew: How Real Friendship with the Holy Spirit Can Change Your Life.”

    The Holy Spirit wants to have a relationship with you. He has committed Himself to be your teacher, comforter, and guide. It’s time to experience the Holy Spirit in a fresh, new way!

Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong to the Lord his whole life.” And they worshiped the Lord there.

    Intercessory Prayer Location: Life Church—Leavittsburg Saturday @ 6pm Led by Gary Skeens & Fran Stampfel

    For Everyone. Group is currently active. Have you ever felt an unexplained burden on your heart to pray for our community, church, pastors, unnamed others, or the world at large? Well, this is what Intercessory Prayer is all about, lifting up others in prayer as Ephesians 6:18 tells us to: pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

    Life Groups that will be starting soon or are closed to new members may not be listed here.

    For info on these groups and if there is still opportunity to join, pick up at Life Group Guide, check out our website at www.lcogoh.com/life-groups, or contact Nancy Skaggs; 330-898-1131 ext. 1006 or [email protected].

    Unglued Location: TBD TBD Led by Kim McLeod

    For Women. Group start date to be announced. God gave us emotions to experience life, not destroy it! We stuff, we explode, or we react somewhere in between. Filled with gut-honest personal examples and biblical teaching, Unglued by Lysa Terkeurst, will equip you with tools you need to resolve conflict, find peace, identify what type of reactor you are, respond with no regrets, and more.

    Discipleship / Bible Study / Topic

    Just like a car, we need fuel to help us in our walk with God. A fuel that supports and strengthens us to keep moving forward and grow as Christians. And guess what, a one-time fill up just won’t do!

    So we invite you to “Refuel” with us on Wednesday nights at 7pm at the Leavittsburg Campus. Refuel offers groups for all ages and gives each of us the opportunity to be disciples and life-long students of Jesus Christ through worship, solid, biblical teaching, and community.
