LIFE Groups
 We
have a number of LIFE Groups (LIFE = Living In
Fellowship & Evangelism) and they run
according to 'Cell' principles.
Our meetings together as a whole church
are important times of celebration and teaching. However
we will not achieve all that God plans for us in this context.
In smaller groups we have a tremendous opportunity to grow
as individuals and as a church family. These LIFE Groups
have the following principles as their foundation.
-
Jesus at
the centre
Jesus must be the centre and the focus as we meet because
only He has the power to change people.
-
Community
We seek to build relationships within the group based
on honesty and sacrificial love.
-
Every member
growing
Through relationship and discipleship each person matures
in their character and grows in their gifts and ministry.
-
Every member
contributing
Each person has gifts and a place in God's plan. The
Life Group is an ideal starting place for using those
gifts for the benefit of others.
- Multiplication
Among a group of friends there is a great opportunity
for demonstrating the good news of Jesus and seeing others
added to the church.
We encourage everyone to join a LIFE Group
and get involved. If you would like to join a LIFE
Group then please contact the LIFE Group Leaders.
