About Life Groups
Discover a place where you feel accepted, valued and encouraged. Whoever you are and whatever you believe, there’s a place for you to be yourself, make friends and enjoy exploring and growing in your faith.
We have a selection of different Life Groups to choose from, some meeting in peoples homes and another online. All our Life Groups meet on a fortnightly basis and last no longer than 1.5 hours.
They usually involve a cuppa and chat, either watching an online talk relating to faith, or exploring a bible passage together, with an opportunity to discuss and explore how this can apply to our lives today.
What do Life Groups aim to do?
Our Life Groups aim to find a safe space for people to get together outside of our Sunday church meetings, enabling us to support one another and deepen our understanding of faith and deepen our relationship with God.
The key things that Life Groups will involve:-
- Building relationships with one another
- Being there for each other as we ‘do life’
- Learning together
- Praying together
- Growing together in our faith
- Seeking missional opportunities in the communities where we live
- Encouraging each other to be missional in the places where God has placed us e.g. our children, work place, neighbours etc
