All Week
Small Groups
Small Groups give people an opportunity to meet with a smaller group of people (typically 6-10) either in someone’s home or at church or online. Each small group has elements of prayer, Bible study, discussion, socialising, support and encouragement, but every group has its own identity and emphasis. They are an excellent way to make deep friendships whilst growing in faith. Please click here to send us a contact form if you would like to find out more.
Alpha
We regularly run Alpha Courses which are designed specially for newcomers and give a really accessible introduction to the Christian faith. A typical Alpha course is a small group of 8-10 people meeting over a period of 3 months.
Contact Pastor David Taylor on 07922 170503 for more information.
See below for an outline of the full course:
We would love to have you on our next Alpha Course. Please contact us for details of dates.
