The best way to deepen our discipleship is to meet regularly with other Christians.  Please see our service times on Sunday, where we worship God, hear the bible read and, through the talk, hear how it is relevant to our lives.

On this page, there is more information about discipleship, including info on homegroups and web-resources.

Homegroups

We want to explore the bible because we believe it is “God-breathed” and that through it, by God’s Spirit, God speaks to us today.  It is relevant to us because we learn about who He is, His plan of salvation, what He desires for our lives, and how we should be.  We study it together, because God works and speaks through us too.
 
Homegroups enable us to have closer relationships with others from the Church.  Often we do not get the opportunity on a Sunday after the service to get to know each other well, or to really care about what’s going on in each other’s lives.  So homegroups allow time for talking and even praying for each other (although there will also be a separate monthly prayer meeting)
 
We try to vary how we read the bible together in homegroups.  Sometimes we work through a book of the bible together.  Sometimes we use a course.

If you are interested in being part of a homegroup, please speak with the vicar or one of the homegroup leaders.  There are currently 6 different groups, meeting at different days/times/places.
