Purpose Statement

Life Groups are home fellowships made up of 8-12 adult attenders of VBC who commit to meeting weekly to study God’s Word, pray, invest in and support one another, and seek opportunities to reach out in their community together. The goal is for each group to be a place to share, grow, and see the Gospel brought to bear in everyday life!

Pastor Caleb Klontz is the elder who oversees the Life Group ministry.

How Important Are Life Groups?

Life Groups are the primary vehicle of discipleship at Valley Bible Church. While Sundays are our corporate worship time, our weekly Life Groups are where the real ministry of the church takes place. Meeting on a regular basis, time is spent building vital relationships while studying God’s Word. By supporting and sharing with one another in small groups, Valley Bible Church becomes more healthy as a whole and more effective in reaching out to our community.

When and Where Do They Meet?

Life Groups meet on various evenings of the week in homes throughout Spokane Valley and Post Falls. Group members are responsible to arrange childcare for their children unless your group includes it. Nursing newborns are welcome in all groups.

What Will We Study?

The study portion is based on the past Sunday’s Scripture passage. Questions are provided each week for personal study of the passage. These questions should be studied prior to your meeting and will usually take 20 to 30 minutes of preparation. When our groups meet, we roll up our sleeves together to discuss what we’ve learned, share ideas, and get to the heart of how we can use this message in our everyday lives.

Where can I find the Life Group questions?

When Life Groups are in session, Life Group questions are included in each Sunday's bulletin and in the weekly e-newsletter sent on Friday evenings. They are also included as a link under each week's sermon on the Sermons page.

Meet Caleb Klontz
Caleb and his wife, Linda, came to VBC in 2015. They served in several volunteer capacities before Caleb was brought on to the pastoral staff as the Director, and eventual Pastor, of Discipleship in 2018. In the summer of 2024, Caleb and Linda, along with their 3 younger children, were sent by the elders of VBC to serve as Gospel ministers (missionaries) in Trieste, Italy. The Klontz family returned to the U.S. in summer 2025, and Caleb rejoined the VBC staff as the Pastor of Life Groups and Global Outreach and an elder in August 2025.
