St Pauls places a high priority on our Growth Group ministry, encouraging all members to link up with a group of other like-minded people who meet regularly to study God’s Word, pray and share life experiences together. Growth Groups are a great way to learn about the Christian faith, to grow and live as a Christian, and to share our faith.
Some groups are specifically for young people, men, women, and mixed groups. Beginner/newcomer groups and preliminary theological courses are also available. Groups meet in member’s homes or in the church, and are held either during the daytime, weekday evenings, or on weekends. Groups generally commence during February each year and end mid December.
