Small Groups

Destiny Groups:

Join a mid week group with a fresh approach to looking out for people coupled with a desire to reach our community.  This is the "real thing" - a group that seeks to look after your needs and yet at the same time desires to fulfil the great commission of Jesus to "Go and make disciples" (Matthew 28). 

These groups are open and flexible.  They are designed to enable you to major on your strengths, talents and enthusiasm.  You will not be pushed into doing things you do not wish to do.  If you have an interest in an area, initially you may simply wish to come and observe before you decide to do anything.  

There are a range of groups running for all ages.  At least one of these groups will appeal to your imagination and flair as well as you sense of passion to reach out to people and make a difference:

• Social Concern (Liz Phillips)
• Visitation and Advice (Christine Leigh)
• Acts of Kindness (Beverley Whitworth)
• Evergreens - Over 55 (Mike Phillips) 
• Missions (Mark Dannatt)
• Youth (Vicky Price)

Support Groups:

A Support group comes into being when a number of people who come together to help each other. These groups are run by and for the members.  Groups like this exist all over the world.  They are sometimes called mutual aid or self-help groups.

At Lifespring, we currently run two groups:

• Youth Support.  This is a group for young people who have just become Christians.  The contact person for this group is Derek Bradford.  It runs every Thursday night.
• Roots.  This is a support group for people who love Israel and want to support the cause, not only of Israel, but the cause of reconciliation between Jews and Arabs.  The contact person for this group is Ginny Ludlam.  It runs once a month on the Second Monday.
