The Living Faith Church CAFe group was formed in 2008 to provide a safe space for Carers And Friends (CAF) caring for people with memory loss. The ‘e’ is used to create the word CAFe as the group originally met in a local café in Greensborough.

Today, the group provides an opportunity for carers and friends to connect, offer support, have a chat and a cuppa, and, at times, offer practical assistance and advice when possible.

If you would like to join us, [contact](https://www.livingfaithchurch.org.au/contact/living-faith-church) Living Faith Church or come along to our Sunday morning service and talk with one of our friendly and welcoming members who greets you as you come in.

Living Faith Church Life Groups aim to help us learn and live out God’s word in our lives. They also help us to support and encourage one another in our everyday lives through prayer and other practical ways.

Every week, many different groups of people from our community meet up. Talking about life, studying the bible, debating and discussing ideas – or maybe all of that and more. Each Life Group is organised and run independently to suit their preferences. Throughout the year, we suggest study series that groups may like to use that tie in with the sermon series.

Living Faith Church currently has 6 Life Groups running during school terms:

- Monday afternoon (a home group)

- Tuesday evening (a home group)

- Wednesday evening (a home group)

- Wednesday evening (a home group)

- Wednesday evening (an online group via Zoom)

- Thursday afternoon (at church)

The Living Faith Church Codgers group was formed over 20 years ago by Adrian Clark, a well-remembered past Minister of Living Faith Church.

As a group of senior citizens, we meet every Tuesday during school terms.

The format is that we sit around in the Youth Room at Living Faith Church and enjoy each other’s company. Of course, at the conclusion of every meeting, we have tea, coffee, cakes, biscuits, and sausage rolls.

Every meeting starts with 12 to 15 men present; some are men of faith, and others are not. We always begin with individual reports of what has been happening in the men’s lives. This is done in a very systematic way, so no one misses out. It sometimes takes quite some time, but this is a big feature of the group. Everyone gets listened to.

You could say we are like a Life Group without studying the Bible. The subjects we cover, though, can be very important and insightful to men.
