Small groups

Home groups are the key to our pastoral vision for All Saints. They meet each week in members’ houses.

Jesus was all about small groups. He chose 12 people and he stuck close with them for all the time he was ministering. In having these 12 people continually around them, they couldnot only hear his teaching, but see what it looked like in practice, in everyday life. They were able to learn, to pray, to eat and share their whole lives together. Whilst small groups at All Saints don't hang out 24-7, the idea is that we create small communities where people grow in their faith together. They are a place where Jesus is the centre and where we also learn, share, encourage and keep one another accountable.

Usually, groups meet on a weekly basis in the evening. There is a focus on studying God's word to understand more of him and deepen our relationships with Him. Different groups use a variety of resources, studying anything from books of the Bible to Christian books or DVDs. As well as studying together, we pray, worship, eat, go out and have weekends away. All the groups look slightly different, but at the centre is the focus of encouraging and sharpening each other in our faith.

Currently there are 16 small groups at All Saints, meeting in a cariety of place, have a look at the map to find a group near you. Most groups have about 8-14 people, but there is always room for growth, not matter what background you are from or what point of your journey you are on.
