Small Groups at St Peter's Church
Our home groups have a relaxed, warm family atmosphere where there is opportunity to share fellowship and life experiences together. We learn from each other through group Bible study and discussion along with informal worship and praying together.
If you’d like to join a group or have questions contact Caroline Anderson, our Home Group co-ordinator: andersoncaroline4@gmail.com
Below is a list of our groups

Basically we exchange understandings, views and experiences, as they relate to the reading.
