At The Heights Fellowship, we value community and connection. While we did not author it, we often say that a church has to grow larger and smaller at the same time. We achieve this through our LIFE Group Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Our Groups are built around the 242 Principle. Which originates from the truths of Acts 2:42:<\/p>\n<p>The 242 Principle is Fellowship Focused, Study Centered, and Prayer and People Passioned. Notice that they devoted themselves to:<br \/>&#8230;the apostles&#8217; teaching &#8211; the Study of Scripture.<br \/>&#8230;the fellowship \u2013 the people united by a common cause.<br \/>&#8230;the breaking of bread \u2013 the sharing of everyday experiences together.<br \/>&#8230;prayer &#8211; That&#8217;s going to the throne of God on behalf of ourselves and those around us.<\/p>\n<p>THF Groups provide people the opportunity to intimately be a part of a close-knit group of Christ-followers. Simultaneously, it is a safe-zone to share experiences, to search for Biblical answers, and to pursue spiritual projects together. In a Group, a person will have a support group for times in life where they&#8217;re hurting, lonely, or rejoicing. Our hope is that each adult in our fellowship will connect to God&#8217;s Word while connecting relationally to others in a\u00a0 LIFEGroup.<\/p>\n<h3>What About My Children?<\/h3>\n<p>THF will <strong>NOT<\/strong> be offering on-site childcare. In place of our on-site childcare we are offering a childcare reimbursement for our LG families. LIFEGroups can take advantage of reimbursement by hiring their own childcare provider and requesting reimbursement online. An added perk of having off-site childcare is that LIFEGroups can meet any day of the week instead of the traditional Sunday and Wednesday nights.<\/p>\n<p>Groups can choose to hire a sitter\/sitters for the entire LIFEGroup or parents can each choose to hire their own sitter and request reimbursement individually.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>Reimbursement Rates<span style=\"color: #000000\">: <\/span><\/strong><\/span>$10 per child, per hour (maximum of two hours) for children 6 weeks thru 5th grade<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family Example<\/strong>: 3 kids @ $10 per child, per hour= $60 reimbursed to parents<\/p>\n<p><strong>Group Example<\/strong>: 8 kids @ $10 per child, per hour= $160 reimbursed to group (1 sitter= $160, 2 sitters, $80 per sitter)<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theheightsfellowship.org\/life-group-childcare-reimbursement-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Click here to fill out the reimbursement form<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Requirements for Approval<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">All parents must be in attendance at a THF LIFEGroup for the date\/dates being submitted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All groups are responsible for hiring and paying for their own childcare.<\/p>\n<p>All approved reimbursement requests can be submitted weekly or monthly. and <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>MUST BE SUBMITTED NO LATER THAN THE 10TH OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">for the prior month&#8217;s sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Life Groups\" href=\"https:\/\/theheightsf.infellowship.com\/GroupSearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Check out our current LifeGroups!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIFE Groups: Get in the game!
