Oak Forest Small Groups
The best way to plug in and really connect with people at New Life is to get involved with a small group. A small group is a weekly gathering leading people to being, connect, engage, grow, and disciple together. Our small groups are the life blood of the Church and the place where every person can build relationships. We have numerous small groups from womens groups, mens groups, youth, married couples, and mixed groups. Take a look at our small group listing to find one that might be right for you.

Parents teach their children their ABCs before they enter school; now it's time to teach them the ABCs of life (Attitude, Behavior, and Character). "How?", you ask.  Stand up to the plate and take charge! In, Have a New Kid by Friday, Dr. Kevin Leman, urges you to take his 5-day challenge to implement a new parenting strategy. Based on cause and effect, instead of threats or fears, you'll soon be seeing lots of improvement in your child's behavior and experience a closer bond as well.  Let the fun begin!

Many Christians today struggle with be-setting sins and remain under the control of the world and all its vices and entrapments. Celebrate Recovery is a recovery ministry based on biblical principles with a goal to let God work through us in providing His healing power through a Christ centered 12-step program. This experience allows  people to be “changed” spiritually by working through sound biblical principles. Participants open the door by sharing their experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another.  In addition, they become willing to accept God’s grace and forgiveness in solving life’s problems. Celebrate Recovery provides a safe place for individuals to begin their journey of breaking out from their bondage and into God’s grace (II Corinthians 12:9), by helping them to start dealing with their hurts, hang-up’s and addictions.
