LIFE GROUPS

Do Life Together.

Daystar Life Groups are the way we build relationships, grow in faith, and live life as a church. Each Life Group consists of a small group of people meeting together on average every second week within the Host's home. The day of the week, as well as any childcare offered or potlucks, will be determined by the Life Group leader.

What to Expect

connection

Christian life is more than 90 minutes on a Sunday! We love to hang out and get to know each other. Be prepared to make new friends! 

prayer

We believe that God answers prayer. Countless times we've seen miracles because of the prayer in Life Groups. Every group incorporates a time of prayer into their meeting. 

discussion

Each group usually has some form of discussion on a spiritual topic. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a scholar to engage in the discussion – you just have to be a real person! 

food

Mmmmmm. There’s usually a wonderful snack at Life Group. Some groups go all out and do a BBQ or a potluck, while others might do a light snack or dessert. 

FIND A GROUP

You can find the perfect group for you - Life Groups meet at many locations in Leduc and the surrounding areas.

Check out groups below to explore the locations, dates and study topics.
Please select the number of tickets you require for each adult and/or participating youth
(for groups that accept children, please select the number of child tickets required).

If this is your first Life Group, and you've never taken the Start Here Class, please join this group!

Start Here Class

don and miriam whitehead | Leduc Daystar

The Start Here class is your first step to belonging at Daystar. You'll learn the fundamentals of what we believe and make connections. Suitable for new and experienced believers - anyone new to our church! This class is taught by various Pastors and Elders, and once done we'll help you get connected with a Life Group.

Don and Miriam will be hosting the Start Here Class in the church cafe! They are relatively new to Leduc, love it here, and excited to be building their community in Daystar. As a family they love all things adventure and travel!
