These are our groups for our Fall 2025 session that goes from September 28th - November 23rd. Email Pastor Damien with any questions at dtaylor@nlcyorkville.org.

Sundays, 7am @ New Life Church
Archery

This archery group is for anyone who loves the outdoors, thrives on precision, and wants to grow in their faith. We'll meet at 7am for some practical archery practice and devotional time before heading into service. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or wanting to improve your skills, this is a great space to connect with others. Targets are provided. Every shooter needs their own bow and arrows.

1st & 3rd Saturdays, 7:30am @ Panera Bread
Men - Brew & Build

Start your Saturday morning with purpose. Brew & Build is a men’s Life Group that meets at Panera Bread every other week at 7:30am to unpack NLC Sunday sermons over coffee and good conversation. This is a space to reflect, ask questions, and sharpen one another as we apply God’s Word to real life.

2nd & 4th Saturdays, 8am @ Panera Bread
Men - Coffee Chats

Sometimes the best conversations happen over coffee. This men’s group meets twice a month to slow down, catch up, and center our hearts on God’s Word. It’s not about having all the answers, it’s about showing up, praying for one another, and letting Scripture speak into our everyday lives. If you’re looking for a place to grow your faith and build solid friendships, you’ll find it here.

Sundays, 2pm @ Local Parks
Family Hikes

Join this fun and active Life Group that brings together families of all ages to explore God’s creation through local hikes. These relaxed, family-friendly hikes will encourage connection, conversation, and community. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just looking to enjoy the outdoors, everyone is welcome to join us as we grow in faith and fellowship—one step at a time!

Wednesdays, 9:30am @ Yorkville Parks
NLC Moms

Motherhood is a journey best traveled together. Join this community of moms for meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and deep connections—all while the kids play and make memories of their own. Whether you’re a new mom, seasoned mom, or anything in between, you belong here! (No registration needed for the kiddos.)

Tuesdays, 4pm in Yorkville
Husbands after God

This Life Group is for husbands ready to embrace their God-given role with boldness, humility, and grace. Through weekly conversations, we’ll explore what Scripture says about leading our homes well, loving our wives selflessly, and raising our children in faith and creating a peace-filled environment. Each session tackles a real-life theme like spiritual leadership, marriage priorities, forgiveness, and family worship.

Wednesdays, 7pm in Yorkville
Women - Let Them & Live Free

This Life Group is a space for women to explore what it truly means to let go, live free, and trust God. Inspired by Mel Robbins’ “Let Them Theory” and grounded in biblical truth, we’ll unpack the spiritual principles of release, boundaries, and emotional freedom. Together, we’ll dive into Scripture to discover how Jesus invites us to choose peace over control, faith over frustration, and freedom over fear.

Sundays, 1pm in Yorkville
Pray & Play

Looking for a tight-knit group where you can pray together, share life, and enjoy some light-hearted fun? Join this Life Group for those who are 18 years or older for a refreshing time of connection, encouragement, and casual board games. Whether you’re looking to deepen your faith or just unwind with good conversation, this group is for you.

Thursdays, 7pm in Yorkville
Rise & Intercede

Step into the presence of God through worship and intercession as we gather with hearts united in prayer. Each week, we’ll begin with a time of worship to align our hearts with heaven, then move into focused, powerful prayer, covering our world, nation, state, community, church leaders, and each others. This is a sacred space to cry out to God, believe for breakthrough, and strengthen one another in faith.

Sundays, 6pm @ New Life Church
NLC Young Adults

Join a community of young adults who are passionate about growing deeper in faith, building intentional connections, and being equipped to live a life that honors God. Each week, we dive into biblical truth, have honest conversations, and encourage one another to live boldly for Christ. Whether you’re in college, a recent grad, young professional, single, dating, or married without kids, there’s a place for you here.
