Small Groups
We encourage everyone in the community to join a small group. Joining a group enables us to become more involved in the work and ministry of Church of the Good Shepherd.
The groups provide the ideal environment for us all to develop our faith. Here we can be known for who we are and true friendships can thrive. Small groups are also the place for immediate pastoral care.
We have a number of small groups meeting at different times and days of the week.
Small groups meet, getting to know each other and supporting each other. Being in a small group, we are able to build relationships in a more personal way.
We pray together and learn from the Bible about how to live as Christians.
We have fun together, and reach out to others, to offer a welcoming and inclusive family of God to all.
If you would like to join a small group or know more about small groups, please contact Val Lucas on 561139 or the church office.
