Life Groups are where friendships are formed, laughter is shared, and life is truly lived! Whether you're looking for a place to grow in faith, dive into great conversations, or just hang out with amazing people, there's a Life Group for you.
Below, you'll find all the groups currently running at Southside—each one a unique mix of people, passions, and purpose.
Got an idea for a Life Group? We'd love to hear it! Reach out to our church office today and let's make it happen!

HOPE BIBLE STUDY
We exist to expand God’s Kingdom by studying His Word and living it out—because faith without action is dead (James 2:17). Guided by Joshua 1:8, we seek to walk in the Word daily, letting Scripture shape every part of our lives. Together, we dwell in God’s presence through worship, prayer, and fellowship—encouraging one another to live what we believe and impact our families, communities, and the world for Christ.
Life Group Leaders: Hope Shamboul
Location: Calgary S.E.
Time: Every other Friday @ 6pm, over Zoom

WARRIOR FELLOWSHIP
Dedicated in encouraging and equipping believers to live and operate in two realms at once--the supernatural and the natural. We live to bring Heaven's realities into day to day life and to see souls saved for Jesus.
Life Group Leaders: Carlos & Tuesday Sanchez
Location: Calagry S.E.
Time: Every other Saturday @ 1:30pm

THE LORD'S SUPPER
We are a group of believers who come together on the first Friday of every month to break bread, share in a potluck dinner, and be encouraged and equipped through fellowship- prayer- and the word of God.
Life Group Leaders: Mudia & Ashley Vincent
Location: Chestermere
Time: The first Friday of every month @ 6:00pm.

DESTINY LIFE GROUP
Our mission is to empower believers to walk boldly in their God-given purpose—living from a place of victory and transforming their world through faith, prayer, and Christ-centered community. Open to all ages, we gather to study Scripture, grow in faith, and encourage one another to pursue God’s calling. As Pastor Craig says, “Salt has no impact until it makes contact.” We’re called to be light-bearers and catalysts for change wherever we go (Matthew 5:13–16). Join us as we grow in faith, build lasting connections, and live out the destiny God designed for us.
Life Group Leaders: Stella Akinola
Location: Calgary N.W. and Zoom

JOSHUA'S LIFEGROUP
Empowered by God’s presence, we choose strength, courage, and faith over fear—walking boldly into every season, knowing the Lord is with us wherever we go. We’re a diverse community of believers—young families, couples, singles, and seniors—growing together in faith and unity. Our heart is to create a welcoming space where everyone is strengthened, encouraged, and equipped to live out their faith with confidence. Together, we rely on God’s presence, face challenges with courage, and pursue His calling in our daily lives.

OVERCOMERS DRAWING NEAR
This is a place where we grow together as family—sharing, caring, praising, comforting, and encouraging one another through Christ. We study Don’t Limit God by Andrew Wommack, letting the Holy Spirit guide our discussions and growth. Together, we’re learning to trust and rest in the Father’s love and strength, finding emotional and physical healing, comfort, and encouragement in His presence.
