Growth Groups

Growth Groups are an essential part of life at St Andrew’s. The Bible teaches that Christians cannot thrive as individuals, instead we grow together in Christ-focused community where we all care for one another. Our Sunday gatherings are quite large, so Growth Groups are the main way we do this community.

These smaller communities gather in various forms and sizes but each group typically consists of around ten people, who meet every one to two weeks, to share their lives, to study the Bible, and to pray for each other.

It’s as we get to know each other really well, and then speak the truth of the love of God in Christ into the nitty gritty details of our lives that groups become places of care and discipleship.
