Small Groups

The basic unit of discipleship and belonging at St James & Emmanuel is the Small Group.

It is within Small Groups that we find our place within the wider church community, it is here that we find enough security to grow as followers (disciples) of Jesus Christ.

We believe that true discipleship has already been modelled by Jesus himself and operates in three dimensions: Up (to God), In (to one another) and Out (to the world). Each of our Small Groups is encouraged to find their own unique and balanced expression of Up, In and Out.

Clusters
Clusters are composed of a number of constituent Small Groups who share a common purpose and can fulfil the churches vision statement in ways that cannot be achieved in a small group or a larger congregation.

The booklet called ‘Implementing Our Vision’ describes the future direction of our church in much greater detail.
