Home Groups
In New life Baptist Church we place a high emphasis on strengthening and developing our Christian life through meeting together in small groups. These groups meet during the week on either a Tuesday or a Thursday in peoples' homes.
The Home groups seek to extend the life of the church beyond meetings into the reality of everyday life. They also seek to provide a safe place where people can:
- explore the Bible in a practical way
- share their lives
- support one another
- pray together
- develop their spiritual gifts
- develop new leaders
Should you like to join a group near you or if you require further information, please contact Rob Beaumont.
Training for Home Group Leaders
Growing Leaders (Restarting September 2010, once a month
on a Wednesday evening)
The aim of the course is to produce effective leadership at every level of
church life by helping leaders to grow in Christ like character, confident
about God's call on their lives and by equipping them to lead.
For more details please contact Rob Beaumont.
Current Home Groups
Here is a brief word from each of our current home groups:-
Rick, Jon and Sue's group - Our HG is a dynamic and close knit group
of really good friends with strong support, care and prayers for each other - if we miss
HG on any week, we feel we've missed something important from that week!
Geoff and Kate's group - Our home group is a very family
orientated group with a large number of children. We look forward to our annual HG
away weekend to the New Forest, where we enjoy spending time together and hunting
for shark's teeth. We are a very practical group and love to get stuck into
helping people with D.I.Y. or gardening projects.
Duane, Lynne and Liz's group - Here’s our home group enjoying yet
another BBQ! We’re well endowed in the group with Saffers so BBQ’s or Braai’s for
social gatherings are the prevailing preference, which the ladies in the group also
tend to like as it means we’re off the hook cooking for the evening, and the boys can
enjoy creating and poking a fire! We meet on Tuesday nights for bible study and prayer,
and enjoy good open hearted fellowship and sharing, whilst getting to know God more.
We have seen God do some amazing work in our Christian lives, through answers to prayers,
and our walk with God has really blossomed when we’ve individually stepped out of our
comfort zone in faith. We are a close knit Christian family offering love and support
to each other (plus the odd BBQ!).
