LIFE GROUPS

Scroll down to see a list of life groups

At Redeemer we believe that small groups are the beating heart of church family. They are the place where we grow together, make friends and seek to serve the people in community around us. Whilst we have different categories of groups, a key focus of all of them is to build authentic, supportive and encouraging relationships that help us to discover fullness of life by finding and following Jesus. Being part of a Life Group is a core part of what it means to be part of Redeemer.

TERMLY RHYTHM - Groups run for a term at a time, with sign up before or during the term. If a group repeats, you are welcome to sign up for that one again.

GROUP CATEGORIES - We have three types of small groups; Grow, Connect and Reach. All of our groups are about building relationships, caring for one another and growing in God together, however, they each have their own focus.

  • Grow groups - These are primarily about growing in your relationship with God, the centre is discipleship.

  • Connect groups - These groups are primarily about growing in relationship with others.

  • Reach groups - These groups are primarily about serving the community around us.

FIND YOUR SMALL GROUP

With a wide variety of groups on offer, we hope there's something for everyone, whether you're new to the church or have been with us for a while. If you are interested in joining a Life Group you can browse the list below to find a good fit for you. If the group list below is empty, it will mean we are at the end of one term and will soon be opening up the next sign-up window.

FAQ

  • Groups run on a termly basis for between 10-12 weeks. You can find out the start date for groups on the Life Groups page of the website.

  • Before each small group term starts there is a ‘sign up window’ where you can take a look at all the groups on offer and express your interest to attend one (or more).  Sign-up months generally run from Aug-Sep for the Autumn term, Dec-Jan for the spring term and April-May for the summer term.

  • During the ‘sign up window’ you’ll have plenty of opportunities to sign up for a group.  However, on occasions, it may be possible for you to join a group during the term if there is still space.  Some groups, aimed specifically at welcoming new people, stay open throughout the term.

  • Yes you can, but just be realistic about your capacity.  It is better to join one group and attend regularly than lots of groups occasionally. Some groups are more occasional and can be ‘added’ to your main group.

  • Each group has a description that tells you what the group is about and what type of group it is.  If you want to know more information about the group to help you see if it’s the right one for you, you can contact the group leader to find out more.

  • You’ll get an automated email confirming your group selection.  Then, after the signup window has closed, your new group leader will get in touch with you with some more details.

  • Many groups will run for more than one term so you will have another opportunity to sign up next term.  In the meantime, hopefully you can find another group you’re open to trying.

  • Many groups run for more than one term and if you find a group you really love then you are free to sign up to it again.  But sometimes stepping out of our comfort zones into new experiences or relationships can be wonderfully stretching and enriching so we’d encourage you to be open to the Spirit’s leading at the beginning of each term.
