Our small groups are called 'purpose groups', they are collections of people with a shared focus or passion. For example our overseas students group have a passion to see overseas students welcomed and supported.

Usually groups meet between weekly in the home of a church member. Most groups have a mixture of friendship, food, worship and prayer, as well as a focus on their purpose.

Feel free to email a purpose group leader to find out when they are next meeting and try it out.
