At All Saints, we encourage our members to be part of a Life Group.
Our Life Groups are small communities – of about 6-8 people – with a facilitator.
They provide opportunities to deepen your Bible knowledge, enjoy great fellowship, and connect with others at All Saints.
As someone in a Life Group said:
”Personally I’ve found Life groups have given me a truly supportive group of friends that I have bonded with deeper during each life group season. It’s become a safe space to be able to talk about the highs and lows of every day life, have good talks over the bible study, have moments of self reflection and to pray for each other. No matter how busy my week, I come back feeling refreshed and encouraged.”
They are a place of community, a space to share, to support, to learn from each other. They are a place of discipleship where we focus on a topic for each season – which roughly follows the calendar year (autumn, spring til Easter; post Easter til summer). We want to live increasingly Jesus shaped lives. And Life Groups are a place of prayer, where we pray with and for each other.
Would you like to join a Life Group?
We encourage all members of All Saints to be part of a Life Group. Life Groups currently meet mostly in the evenings at someone’s home. One Life Group meets online on an evening, and there is one ‘morning groups’. It is possible to join a Life Group at anytime in the year.

2022, we considered mission in a holistic sense.
At the start of 2022, we considered what is mission in a holistic sense. In particular we considered what is our responsibility to God’s Creation. We used a series of study materials and sessions provided by New Wine Netherlands called ‘Heel Het Leven’.

2023 we studied Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, using materials from Tim Keller.
Then we followed an Anglican resource called ‘Beautiful Lives’ which talks practically about how to share our Christian faith with non-believers.
2024. So far we have been studying the letter of 1 Corinthians (https://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/1-corinthians-the-grace-changed-church).
We encourage you to join a Life Group if you can!
