What are House Groups?

For those of you who are new to house groups, the concept is quite simple and involves a small group of people regularly meeting in each other’s homes to study, pray and support each other. 

House groups are an amazing way to build deep relationships, share experiences and often new lifelong friendships are formed through this process. 

Each year we organise house groups in Advent and Lent so please join us for a time of fellowship, reflection and celebration in a warm and welcoming house group setting.  

Lent 2026

This Lent we have put together our own material for six sessions in preparation for Easter.  At each session we will reflect on and pray about the gospel for the following Sunday.  The materials also include poetry and artwork to aid reflection and discussion. 

Groups will start meeting in the week commencing Monday 16th February 2026 and will continue for six weeks until the week ending Sunday 30th March 2026 (Palm Sunday).
