We try to cater for everyone in the church, no matter what their stage of faith or the time they can commit. There is no one-size-fits-all approach and we recognise that different people have different ways in which they connect and grow. The most important thing to us is for everyone to be given an opportunity to grow in their faith, hope and love of Jesus.
We do this in multiple ways but two integral parts of our Church Family Discipleship is through Mid-week Life Groups in which we seek to encourage, edify, build up one another around God's Word and fellowship.
We also believe in the power and incredible gift of prayer as a means to talk, know God, His heart for us, our community and world and seek to ask His Kingdom come and will be done, in our lives, community and world.
LIFE GROUPS
Jonny & Jackie Foyle
Tuesdays
7:30-9:30pm
We are a friendly and talkative group with a focus on supporting one another through life's ups and downs and our Christian journeys. We meet in village and evenings include sharing what's going on in our lives (highs and lows), sung worship, prayer, bible study & discussion, refreshments, lots of laughter, occasional tears and food - although not all of them every week! Our aim is to grow together in our faith and support one another practically, spiritually and emotionally.
Keith & Babs Maslin
Tuesdays
7:30-9:30pm
Love and fellowship are at the heart of our group. A love for Jesus and each other (oh yes, and for cake) and through the fun and fellowship we share together, each week, our desire is to know and grow closer to God. We often take it in turns to host our group, which is either in Neacroft or Bransgore (or at the moment on Zoom!). We use the previous Sunday’s sermon along with the notes to focus our thoughts and to provide us with a starting point for our discussion.

Tuesdays
7:30-9:30pm
We are a sociable group who have a passion for God and a love for people. We mostly meet in Highcliffe (when not by zoom). We enjoy an array of activities including discussing the sermon, learning from courses, social walks and skittles down the Pub.
We are an inclusive group with varying gifts and seek to create opportunities for the operation of these gifts and hearing what God would like us to be doing. We have a genuine care and respect for one another and an ongoing learning to be more like Jesus attitude. Welcome.

Wednesdays

Life is a battle for joy, hope, truth, direction, strength, trust and our faith. We are called to stand strong but not alone. Supportive relationships with each other and with our loving Father are vital. We are also called to be a blessing: to each other and to those around us.
That’s where Life Groups fit in. Growing in friendship, trust, biblical understanding, prayer, confidence, and most importantly joy and love we believe that life groups are essential. At the moment this will happen remotely, but once out of lockdown, a central focus will be socializing with lots of nice food. We have a welcoming space to share new beginnings with those who would like to join us.
Kathy Harris & Caroline Davis
Thursdays
1:30-3:00pm
Our Life group aims to 'do what it says on the tin' - share more of Life together! We would meet to dig deeper into God's word and discuss how we apply it to our lives, using BCC discussion questions to help us. We'd also like to have times together to enjoy friendship & laughter. Overall we'd want to be a group that encourages & builds each other up in faith, is prayerful, supportive & caring as we grow in relationship with Jesus & with one another. We'd love you to join us & look forward to following where God leads us!
