Small Groups are where people get together to make new friends, share a passion, or to ‘explore faith together.’
Due to Covid 19 and it’s restrictions, it has been decided that the majority of the Small Groups will roll over into next term. If you are already in groups, you will have talked about this within your groups over the last few weeks. If you are staying put you DO NOT need to sign up again this time. If you haven’t joined a group before, or are looking to change groups, or sign up for extra groups, please take a look at the choices here.
Sign ups are open from Sunday 3rd January 2021, on here, or by email or telephone via the Church office, but before then please feel free to browse through the forthcoming groups.

Why join a Small Group?
We think Small Groups are a really great way of connecting with lots of different people in both our church and local community. By being part of a small group you can:
- Meet new people
- Feel part of a great community
- Learn from the Bible
- Develop a deeper knowledge of God’s love for you
- Enjoy a range of groups, including interest groups
Questions:
- What if I don’t know what group to join? Feel free to chat to leaders to find out more about them and their small group. Alternatively, speak to either Mike Sladen or Jo Sharman, our Small Group Overseers, who’d be really pleased to help you.
- Will I get my choice? We will make every effort to accommodate everyone. We’ll let you know if your choice of group(s) is full and help place you elsewhere.
- How long have I got to book? Groups begin the week beginning the 18th January 2021. We encourage you to book early, as some groups may be popular and we don’t want you to miss out. Bookings for most groups will close on 10th January 2021 in order to give leaders time to confirm details such as venue, start date and time.
