Home groups & Central meetings

In addition to the larger gathering as Christians on a Sunday we feel it is so important to have smaller gatherings in the week. This enables us to get to know each other better, support one another and provide an opportunity to learn from God’s Word and pray in a way which is more informal and intimate. To that end we have home groups which alternate with central meetings, both of which meet these needs.

Every fortnight Christians meet in homes around the area in a warm and friendly atmosphere to support one another. Hearing God speak to us from the Bible and us speaking to him by prayer are two important parts of the way we go about this. But we also hope that the home groups will be more than ‘Bible study groups’, they will also be places where we can provide practical support, sharing with each other in the joys of our faith as well as the hard times. If you have not yet joined one of the groups, then have a word with one of the ministers who will be more than happy to arrange things for you.

Lee McMunn and Richard Hawes gave us a helpful introduction to the book of Nehemiah. You can watch it here.
