Continuing with our monthly LIFE Group Spotlight – where we highlight a specific LIFE Group at LBF and their leaders – here is an interview with Curt and Karla Eyster.
Tell us about your family. Karla and I met at Messiah College and have been married 17 years. We have 3 great kids who keep us busy and are walking reminders of God’s faithfulness: Alyssa (14), J.J. (6), and Kaleb (4).
Tell us about how you came to faith in Jesus Christ. Both Karla and I grew up in the church and were raised by Christian parents. We each accepted Christ at a young age and have continued on a fantastic faith journey ever since, including many twists and turns, challenges and blessings.
Tell us about how you found LBF. We moved back to California in 2011 and visited LBF early on in our search for a new home church. When we learned about the heart and mission of this church and saw how the children’s ministry welcomed our kids, we knew that this was our new home.
How long have you been leading a LIFE Group at LBF? We’ve been with our group a little over a year now.
Tell us a bit about your LIFE Group. When we approached Phil about starting a new group, we began to pray right away for the families that God would bring into our LIFE Group community. God is good and He connected us with five great families with young kids. It’s a lively group with kids from 12 weeks to 6 years old and they keep our two sitters hopping.
How would you describe the importance of the LIFE Group you lead? As new members of the church, we knew from past experience that the best way to get connected was by joining a LIFE Group. In a large congregation, it’s easy to get lost and you lose out on so many of the benefits of the local church community. Both Karla and I can attest to the spiritual growth and encouragement that comes through LIFE Groups.
What would you say to someone that is wary about joining a LIFE Group? We would highly encourage them to take a chance. The rewards of being in community with people who genuinely care about you and your family are tremendous.
