C-Groups

Don't Do Life Alone

We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. C-groups are where you can connect with others on a regular basis who share your interests, who are at a similar stage in life, or who have experience in an area where you would like coaching. It’s through doing life together that our problems become smaller and God uses others to bring healing, support and encouragement to our lives. Your c-group will quickly become a place where others don’t just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life.

 

Below is a list of currently active c-groups. These groups rotate throughout the year. When you’ve found one you like, click the Contact Leader button to send an email to the group’s leader. If you’ve participated in a c-group already and would like to start a new one, please fill out the C-Group Launch Form.

Marriage C-Group: Be Right or Be Happy Tuesday Evening Small Group City Church - Oakleys
Marriage C-Group: Be Right or Be Happy  
Leader: David Gerald

Every marriage will experience conflict. We all have different likes, dislikes and opinions. However, we can choose whether or not to allow these differences to cause offense and division in our relationships. Let's discover
how we can actually benefit from conflict while avoiding arguments and
contention.

○ Purpose to resolve and not to win

○ What does the Word say about the problem

○ Do not avoid-unresolved conflicts grow

○ Stay on topic—keep the main thing, the main thing

○ We discuss—not argue (contention)

○ If I win, my spouse loses

○ Never attempt to resolve issue in the midst of anger

○ Establish boundaries for appropriate tone and verbal/body language—create a"safe zone"

○ Always remember, we are one with the goal of understanding and restoration

○ When to seek outside help, counseling, guidance

Start Date: Tuesday 9/12/23 @ 6:30 PM

Marriage C-Group: Can You Hear Me Now  
Leader: Craig Shields

Lack of or poor communication is often cited as the number one problem in marriages. We can sometimes feel as though we are not being heard or even ignored by our spouse. In order for us to share the same goals, plans and hopes, clear and effective communication is a must. While men and women generally communicate differently, we can all improve on our communication skills.

○ The goal is to not only convey information/perspective but to reach
mutual understanding

○ Your thoughts do not have to align to communicate effectively

○ Freedom to discuss anything large or small

○ Frequency—the more you communicate the greater level of mutual respect and intimacy

Start Date: Friday September 15, 2023 @ 6:30 PM

Craig & Vivian will contact C-Group Attendees with details regarding the C-Group location, prior to the start of the Group.
