Life Groups
Life groups are small groups of adults in the church who meet on a regular basis to pray, read the bible, socialise, and share life together. For some this means meeting with friends over coffee, for others this group is the people they serve(volunteer) with.  We urge you to consider whether you’d like to join a life group, help us form a new life group, or sign up your friendship group/hobby group as a life group. We release central material and support whilst understanding that each group is unique.
