What are Small Groups?

Small Groups are at the heart of who we are and what we do. They are more than just mid week small groups—they are the primary way in which we grow in faith and express our common life. The word Community comes from the two words, Common – Unity. And Small Groups are the primary way in which we demonstrate this. They are where real Christian maturity can develop; a place where caring, sharing, growing, giving out and supporting each other in our journey of faith happens.

Why Small Groups?

The only realistic way to pastor the people of our church properly is by multiplying the number of pastors! The only realistic way for people to grow in their gifts is by multiplying the number of opportunities to use them. And the only realistic way of sharing the good news of Jesus with our town and district is by multiplying the number of people and groups actively reaching out.
It is a proven fact that those regularly involved in Christian small groups grow many times faster and have a greater sense of connection than those that just regularly attend the Sunday church service. Our faith is not an individualistic faith. It is meant to be experienced and expressed in community. SMALL GROUPS provide the ideal way to do this.

What sort of Small Groups are there?

We have a wide range of groups regularly meeting at different times and days during the week. Some are single sex, others mixed. Some for the younger adult and others of older age range.

To find a group to belong to…
Just choose one that would suit you from the list and give the contact person a call they’ll have a chat with you about their group and tell you all the details or contact Pastor Phil.
