Home Groups
In an age of isolation and superficial relationships, Home Groups are a place to find a home with Christ and his people. These groups are scattered around the city and provide opportunities to know and be known, to love the church, to be loved by the church, and to provide community and care for one another.
“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:42–47 ESV)
Home Groups are communities where we can live out the New Testament's 59 ‘one another’ commandments. Love for one another is the chief mark of Jesus’ disciples (see John 13:35).
Two meals take place at a home group. First, a physical meal where relationships are formed and the highs & lows of life are shared around the table. Second, a spiritual meal where group members can reflect on the Bible (usually the passage spoken on the Sunday beforehand) and prayerfully consider how the gospel should transform all of life.
