GS Communities
We encourage anyone part of our local church family to find transformation, discipleship, and growth in a small community.
Most of our communities meet weekly to study God’s word, pray, and encourage one another in their faith. We journey through the same study material designed to help us in our pursuit of Jesus, but each community will vary in style.
To sign-up to a GS Community, you need to be registered for ChurchSuite - if you do not have an account, you can create one here.
Join a community
We believe that everyone was created to belong to a community. It was never God’s intention that we would do life alone. These are spaces where you can grow, learn and discover together in the context of community.
Lead a community
We’re looking for people who enjoy hosting others, creating a place of connection and providing pastoral support. If you are interested in leading others in discipleship and growth, we’d love to hear from you!

Don't be discouraged if your first experience of GS Communities isn't what you had hoped! Personalities, interests, and communication styles can differ; sometimes, finding your fit takes a little exploration. We encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, connect with people from all walks of life and embrace the journey of learning and growing together, one conversation at a time.

We understand it can be challenging to manage family commitments while still contributing to and connecting with your GS community. If you're struggling to find childcare, we encourage couples to join the same community and alternate each week or choose communities that meet on different nights.
