Small Groups

Small Groups

Our aim is that every attendee of the church is part of a small group that meets together to pray, discuss the bible.

Why?

Being a Christian isn’t easy. We know that there is always more to learn that every day we have choices to make,
and it is difficult to live a Christian life, growing in faith if you are not sharing your life with other Christians in the church.
