Please Note: As many of our regular LifeGroups take a break over the Summer, the final LifeGroup guide for this year will be the LifeGroup guide schedule for publication on Sunday 21st of December 2025 which will serve as a conclusion to our Advent/Christmas teaching series.

New LifeGroup guides will be available in advance of our new sermon Series beginning on the First Sunday in February 2026.

We encourage any LifeGroups that do plan to meet over the summer, to take the opportunity to gather together in your local community in a meaningful way that might serve others or share the love of Jesus with those in your local context. We’d love to hear your stories of what you got up to in the New Year.

Join us this Christmas, in person or online.
