At LifeCity we love kids. They are not simply the church of tomorrow but the church of today. We do not believe that church is simply to be the domain of the twenty plus adult, but the playground of spiritual discovery for our future.

GenLife is the LifeCity Church Uni and Young Adults Community. Our North gathering is only a block or two from the University of Canberra in Kaleen, our evening gathering meets near ANU @ TheLoft at the Civic Bus Interchange so if you are at ANU, it is a breeze to get to.
As a young church there is a lot of overlap in what we do. We run small groups, social activities and getting involved with community service (such as Redfrogs) in the Universities around Canberra. If you are at any of the tertiary institutions drop us a line. You should also see us at the Open Day and around the Uni.
//FamilyLIFE
FamilyLIFE
is the community of families within the community of LifeCity
Church. Often
it is difficult to get out with the kids or connect as much due to
the constant counting of heads, wondering where the boys have gone
and what they might have broken. A lot changes with the demands of
parenthood and families but community need not.
Running
regular fun social events for the family, equipping events for
Parenting and more //FamilyLIFE is all about seeing God glorified and
his kingdom extended in and through our journey's (whilst having alot
of fun along the way)
Radiance runs social events and special events for our women. Also there is a weekly mum's group.
At LifeCity Church Canberra we love music because it is the language of the soul. We love being creative because that is the way we have been crafted. If you are a musician, singer, dancer or techie (both sound or visual media) or artist in any area we would love you to get involved.
(Small Groups)
We love hanging out and being a true community of faith. Our small groups (Life Communities) are more about doing life together than doctrinal dissertation. We explore together God's word and its impact and implications in our lives. We hang out in many places, from homes and Universities, to cafes and restaurants. Any place for people is a place for Life Communities.
Life Communities are focussed around four key values that determine the way we operate but also give room for expression in each group to adapt, innovate and be specific to the area they are in.
These being:
1. Biblically Focussed - each group generally follows the sermon theme unpackaging what we are going through as a Church. This allows for more discussion and application from what is being taught.
2. Relationally Focussed - we are about doing 'life together', creating friendships and true community. We are focussed on connecting, having fun and sticking together through good times and bad
3. Spiritually Focussed - so often we create depth in relationships, study the word but the spiritual vitality in our lives become shallow. Specific prayer, fasting and other spiritual disciplines are encouraged in the life of each community.
4. Missionally Focussed - we believe that community is only truly biblical when it ultimately has an external focus. When we receive from God is should be virtually impossible to hold back our gratitude and excitement in serving others in word and deed.
5. Globally Focused - each group adopts one of our key mission focuses in prayer and stewardship.
We pray together, laugh together and sometimes, dare I say it, even cry together (but not normally in the blokes groups unless it's at paintball or when my football team loses the grand-final).
