Home Groups - the place to grow
We believe that the best way to ‘make Jesus known in Lawn and beyond …’ is to ‘be community to the community.’
One very tangible way of doing this is within small groups, and so we believe that our focus and energies are best served within our home groups.
They are places where we can build significant relationships and therefore share and support each other in ways that are not possible in a larger group. They are also a place to invite others into, to experience first hand the ‘family’ of God and where we can develop a concern for the wider world.
They are not autonomous groups but part of an expression of being church within the community here in Lawn.
