Life Groups
A Life Group is a dynamic community of about a dozen people, providing a context where people can experience the same friendship, care, coaching and disciple-making that Jesus provided for his initial group of twelve disciples. Groups meet in a church member's home or at church, weekly or fortnightly, to discuss the Bible, pray, share food and develop friendships.
Interested in joining a group? See group details below and talk to us if you would like to join a group and we help you get connected to a group near you.
The Life Group Guide is published weekly following Sunday morning services and is a way of keeping people connected/involved in all that is happening at church. It contains a Bible study (based on the Sunday morning sermon) and a summary of church news and notices.
