Watching a Sermon Using Facebook Watch Party!

Hey there Life Group Leaders!

In this unprecedented time, we’re looking for more ways than ever before, to CONNECT & GROW with the people in our Life Groups! One way you can CONNECT which is pretty great is to use a Facebook Watch Party!

We think this could be a great way to:

  • Rally together over the weekend sermon!
  • As a Life Group community, take in the same content at the same time (Think about it as if you were sitting in the same row at our worship center but you’re at home sitting on your couch drinking a cup of coffee, communicating with your Life Group).
  • Be led in communion at same time as our entire church as well as your Life Group!

** Disclaimer ** You WILL need a Facebook account/profile to host one of these Watch Parties.

Read below for the instructions!
