Life groups.
Sunday services are the front door of the church. Life groups are the living room. If you want to actually know and be known, this is where it happens.
What they are
Groups of 8–12 people meeting weekly in homes across Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas, and Vista. We eat together, study a chapter of the Bible together, pray for each other, and show up when life goes sideways.
What happens in a meeting
Dinner or dessert, 15 minutes of catch-up, 45 minutes of Bible discussion (led by a trained group leader, not by whoever feels like it), and about 20 minutes of prayer. You're out the door in under two hours.
Finding one
Every six months we launch a new round. Look for the "Life Group Signups" table in the lobby on Sunday, or email groups@carlsbadcoastchurch.com with your zip and where you are in life — we'll match you to 2–3 that fit.
