As followers of Jesus, our Sunday worship gatherings are vital…. but not enough. Not if we wish to grow in following Jesus. Not if we want to grow as a family of faith. Something more is needed.

We believe regularly connecting with other Christians helps us grow together in following Jesus.

Growth Groups help us do this.

Growth Groups cultivate 5 keys for growing in faith.

We encourage you to join a ‘Growth Group’ which meets regularly during the week.
There are many different groups to suit the variety of schedules and focus.
