God in his grace is committed to growing us. Growth Groups are where we love each other by committing to help each other grow.
What is a Growth Group?
Our Growth Groups meet on once Wednesday evenings for bible study and prayer. We’re committed to sharing life together through the ups and downs and to sharing the good news of Jesus with our community together.
Why belong to a Growth Group?
We think that committing to a Growth Group is really important if we want to grow in our faith. The book of Ephesians in the bible describes the church as a body with a structure, ‘held together by every supporting ligament [which] grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.’ (Ephesians 4:16). As we speak the truth to one another, serve one another, and pray together, we are living out the wonderful truth that God has united us – we belong to one another!
What if I can’t get there every week?
Growth Groups are more about belonging than attending. Of course we want to meet together to encourage one another, but we recognise that regular midweek commitments are difficult for some.
What will be expected of me?
Our aim is to get to know you and to give you time to get to know the rest of your group. Some people are very used to this sort of environment but it may be new to others. When you feel able to, you can contribute as much or as little as you like.
Church Family Meetings
Once a month we join together for a Church Family Meeting, which is an opportunity to worship, pray, share news and make decisions together. These meetings are held on Wednesday evenings instead of the usual Growth Groups meetings. We believe they are very important for the Church as a whole and so we encourage everyone to join in.
Social Events
Most of the groups organise social events during the year. It’s a great way to get to know one another better and to invite friends along.
How can I join a group?
If you would like to discuss joining a group, please speak to one of the elders.
