LIFE Groups and fellowship groups

Shelby Christian offers a variety of opportunities for adults to grow in their faith, build relationships with others, and serve the community. 



Whether it is in a LIFE group, a Bible study, a fellowship group, or our Sunday worship services, our goal is to fulfill the mandate of Ephesians 4:12-13 "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."  Click here to Join a Life Group.
