Life-Groups are small groups just for our students! Meet weekly with a small group of other students (same gender) and an adult Life-Group leader. It is a time filled with Bible study, prayer, fellowship, accountability, and fun!

When and where do we meet?
Life-Groups meet in host homes once a week during the school year (October – June).  The time and day the group meets is determined by what works best for the particular group.  By meeting in homes, we make SSM San Clemente seem a little smaller and more personal.

What will we be studying?
Being involved in a Life-Group will be an awesome time to grow closer to God. What better way to do that than by connecting with other students, readying and studying the Bible? Topics include: salvation, prayer, following God, making good decisions, studying the Bible, dealing with temptation, and more.

What does a Typical Life-Group night look like?
Each group has its own flavor, but a typical night at your Life-Group home will look something like this: welcome/hang-out time, game/ice-breaker, Bible study/discussion, prayer time, snack/hang-out time.

What is the Life-Group Commitment?
Being part of a Life-Group is a privilege. We ask each Life-Group student to commit to the following:

• Come prepared to group, equipped with a Bible, a pen, and a notebook.
• Respect your Life-Group leader. They are giving up time because they want to minister to you.
• Respect and be kind to other students in you Life-Group.
• Respect your host home.
• If you can not commit to these things, we will ask you to no longer be a part of the Life-Group.

What about my leader?
SSM San Clemente has incredible, trained adult volunteers who are ready to serve and teach junior high and high school students. From High School seniors to parents of junior highers, we have a dedicated team of volunteers who are excited to work with you. Our leaders are there to encourage, teach, guide, and help you strengthen your walk with Christ. It may turn out to be the most significant relationship of your junior high and High school years.
