The best way to get to know people, go deeper with God and engage with church life is to join a connect group.
We run various connect groups across the church, these are small groups that meet together on a regular basis each month, alternating between socials, pastoral care, bible studies & worship.
Meeting in small groups provides a better environment for forming close relationships, sharing & receiving prayer, and discussing & studying the word. It is also a great place to invite friends to experience church in a different way.
These groups are a key part of The Gate, where individuals and the church as a whole can experience growth, both spiritually and numerically.
