Small Groups
As well as Sunday morning, many of our church members meet together each week in small groups. Our small groups comprise between six and twelve people and meet in a variety of locations around Warwick Gates. Meetings tend to last about 2 hours and include fellowship, worship, bible study and prayer. Once a month members share a meal in a home or go out to a local place of entertainment. In our community, where many people are newcomers to the area and a long way from family, small groups help to create community and provide suppport and friendships.
