Discipleship Groups are small groups of Christians who meet together on a regular basis to help each other grow in their faith and to become better disciples of Jesus. People join a group for all sorts of reasons: 

 

• to grow in their experience of God

• to understand the Bible better

• to worship and pray in a more informal way

• to make friends with others in church

• to explore issues of spirituality

• to develop skills and gifts

• to apply their beliefs to daily life

• to learn how to serve God
   

If you are aged 18 or above, and you are a member of St .John's, then there is much to be gained by being in a Discipleship Group. Many in our Sunday congregations are also part of a group and you are welcome to join one too. Discipleship Groups meet weekly or fortnightly, on whatever day and time is most convenient to those in each group. They usually meet in the homes of group members. 

If you are new to church or still investigating the Christian faith, we would strongly recommend that before joining a group, you first come on the Alpha course (see separate page for details). If you have already been on Alpha at St. John's then joining a Discipleship group would be an excellent way to continue to explore all that it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
