Home Groups
What is a home group?
A home group is a gathering of about 10 people who meet weekly in a home to explore the Bible under a trained leader. The group members help each other to think through what God is saying. As friendships grow, encouragement to live in the light of the Word becomes more of a feature.
What do I have to do in the group?
Simply enjoy getting to know others around a discussion about the Bible. A typical meeting will have time for coffee, time for chatting about life, a hearty discussion around the Bible and Christian living, and time for prayer. You simply act as you would in any discussion – listening and contributing where you feel you can. You don’t have to do anything you are not comfortable with.
What is each group member’s responsibility?
Be at all meetings – an erratic attendance will not foster a group dynamic. Of course, there may be times when missing a meeting will be unavoidable – that’s life – just let the leader know so that everyone isn’t kept waiting because they are expecting you.
How long do they run for?
As a rule, there will always be a starting and ending date to each group. In the future, we will be moving to a six-month commitment. When groups re-form, it is quite likely that many will be made up of original members.
What day and time do the groups meet?
Groups meet on Wednesdays, starting around 7pm - 7:30pm, and running for one-and-a-half hours. Exact times will be discussed and finalised by groups themselves. There are no meetings during school holidays.
We have a few home groups that will continue to run with their existing members. More home groups will be developed in the future.
