We call our small groups Growth Groups. Growth Groups are an essential part of the life of Emmanuel. They aim to be places where we are Growing as Christians together. Being a Christian isn’t a solo sport, but together we’re part of God’s family and we want to grow together in Christ.
There are currently 7 groups; meeting on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings. We encourage everyone who calls Emmanuel home to be part of a group. Each group typically has 14-18 people in it. It means that we have the chance to get to know a smaller group of people really well and connect with them. On the evening, Growth Groups usually start with coffee or tea. We spend time studying the bible, because God’s word help us to grow. We spend time praying for one another’s growth. We seek to be caring for and supporting one another as we grow as Christians together.
Growth Groups are for those who are trusting in Jesus and part of Emmanuel Church. If you’re at the stage of finding out about the Christian faith or Emmanuel coming on one of our Christianity Explored courses might be a good place to start.
