So, what are Growth Groups?
Growth Groups at St Michael’s are small groups existing to help every member grow in godliness by prayerfully reading and applying God’s Word, investing in Christian fellowship and creatively working together to bless those beyond their group.
There are many groups that meet on various weekdays and nights to study the Bible, pray, share, and care for one another, with the aim of growing in trusting Jesus and living for him. For more information, or to let us know you’d like to join one of these groups, please contact us.
