We grow bigger by getting smaller!

This may seem a strange statement but over recent years we have discovered that this is true. By encouraging people to meet in smaller groups out with our Sunday worship we have seen new believers grow dramatically in their faith and develop stronger bonds and relationships within the Body of Christ. As we grow in number, the vision of the leadership is to see more groups forming. They may have different formats meeting at different times and in different places, but the aim is to unite them with the same goals.

The rationale for small group ministry is shown below:

The Small Group Vision

• A place where every member is welcomed and feels a sense of belonging.
• A place where prayer and bible study are practised.
• A place where people are pastored and mentored.
• A place to give and receive inspiration and encouragement.
• A place where needs are recognised and burdens are borne.
• A place where victories are celebrated.
• A place where opportunities to serve are offered.
• A place where the group members are accountable to each other.
• A place where spiritual gifts are nurtured.
