Adults
Community groups are a vital aspect of our church life because, in a church our size, it is sometimes hard to get to know others. In smaller groups, we learn and encourage each other, get to know each other better and care for one another. Usually these groups involve Bible study and prayer, and sometimes food. We encourage all community groups to gather centrally, on the first Wednesday of the month, to meet up and pray together. If you'd like more information please contact the church office for more information.
Homegroups
Various weekday evenings, weekly or fortnightly
These meet in homes around the city and have a mixture of ages and stages.
GROWTH GROUPS FOR STUDENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS
GROWTH GROUPS FOR STUDENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS is on Sunday evenings and one a month on Thursdays. (See flyer for dates. You can sign-up to the WhatsApp Community group using the QR Code on display throughout the church building or message Jonathan for a link on +353 863969131)
On Sundays, after the evening service, we begin with food around 8pm followed by either a talk or study and some discussion, finishing around 9:30pm. In our Sunday evening services we're looking at Proverbs 1-9 and in Growth Groups we'll be looking at specific topics from the rest of the Book of Proverbs.
As a church we are committed to helping you to grow in faith, love and perseverance so that you are strengthened and encouraged as a follower of Jesus. Growth Groups is a great opportunity to help one another in this process. There are opportunities to serve the group by helping set up or serving food and supporting those who are finding their way through college and in the workplace.
For many people the years at college are hugely significant in their faith journey. Those of you who've graduated know the value and potential of this time. And for those of you in the next stage of life, we are committed to helping you to become established in the workplace as people who carry the light of Christ in you, drawing others to him.
To get the most out of church we encourage you to attend as regularly as possible, to be part of the larger church family, serving in various areas and committed to this group to strengthen and encourage each other. Belonging to a church family gives you the opportunity to learn and grow with support from people of all ages.
Growth Groups is a great supplement to attending on Sunday mornings and evenings.

Explore Christianity for yourself.
Christianity Explored is a 7 week course helping people explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting.
Who’s it for?
The course is designed for interested onlookers who want to investigate the basics, or people who wouldn’t consider themselves Christians but want to understand more about Christianity, or church-goers who want to explore the basics more deeply.
What can I expect?
We’ll meet in the main lounge at the back of the church building. Over tea and coffee, we will investigate one of the historical accounts of Jesus’ life (Mark’s Gospel) through discussion and short videos. You can ask as many questions as you like, or just come and listen.
