What is a family group?
As our church has grown, it's become increasingly important to ensure that no-one gets lost in the crowd. Family groups help to create an environment where you can grow spiritually, and are a place where you can share experiences and concerns with other Christians in a loving, relaxed setting. They're a place to develop friendships and gain spiritual input.
We meet because of our love for each other and for Jesus Christ, but we also meet to have fun - not all meetings are geared towards Bible studies! It's just like meeting with a group of friends on a regular basis... in fact that's exactly what it is!
What can I expect?
A small group of about 6 to 12 people meeting in someone's house. The format differs by home group and week on week. It's probably best to speak to the family group leader or better still get some inside information from someone who attends.
The focus of meetings is to build each other up and care for each other. It's there for us all to learn from each other and share our highs and lows.
Where are they?
In various locations across the Reading area and beyond. Click here to take a look.
Why should I go?
A very good question! Sunday is great for us as a church to praise and worship God together. What is harder to do on a Sunday is to make long lasting relationships and develop as a Christian. Smaller groups can help on both counts. It's important to get involved otherwise over time you may feel isolated.
It's a great place to develop and try things out in a safe environment. You will be surprised how many people think and feel the same way as you do!
I want to check one out - what do I do?
Look at the map and pick one close to you. (That means less travelling, and also the others who attend will live locally too, so it's easy to pop round for a drink and a chat!) Then contact the family group leader - it's that simple! You may even want to visit a couple to check out which one you prefer.
We really want everyone to be part of such a group and would love to see you there.
When Are They On?
Family groups take place on every Wednesday (except the last in the month), start at 7:45pm and finish around 9:30pm. See the What's On page for information.
