Support

We’re passionate about people being cared for, becoming whole and flourishing as disciples of Jesus.

GS Communities

We encourage anyone part of our local church family to find transformation, discipleship, and growth in a small community.

Most of our communities meet weekly to study God’s word, pray, and encourage one another in their faith. We journey through the same study material designed to help us in our pursuit of Jesus, but each community will vary in style.

Extended Pastoral Care

In addition to GS Communities, the church has a Pastoral Care team. These are mature Christians who are available to come alongside those who need additional support or encouragement. The pastoral team are not counsellors but are experienced in listening, providing care, and praying for needs. They would typically meet by arrangement with a person twice to talk and pray and are often able to signpost onwards if professional advice or support is required.

You can access the pastoral care team by talking to your GS Community leaders or one of the Leadership Team members.
