Small groups are a vital part of our church. They fulfil two of our core values: belonging and growth. Sunday church is an uplifting and inspiring experience, but personal contact with others in a small group will help you develop friendships, and grow as a person.
We offer a variety of Groups including Bible Study and devotional groups for different ages, as well as social and interest groups. For example, we have a motorbike riding Group and a marriage booster Group! Some groups are held weekly and others meet every fortnight. Groups run during school terms, so you can change to a different group at the beginning of each new term if you want to try something new.
To try out or join a Group, fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch.
