What is a Growth Group?
A small group of people committed to helping each other follow Jesus. The core aspect of group life is meeting regularly to encourage each other in personal discipleship of Jesus through sharing, Bible study and prayer, but it extends beyond this into other less structured social connections, practical and pastoral support, prayer and communication. The group is led by a Growth Group Leader, who is appointed, trained and supported by the pastoral team. There is a focus on interactive, mutual learning and encouragement, and the Leader facilitates the group, helping it stay on track, rather than acting primarily as a teacher.
