Small Groups At TUC

At TUC, it is our aim to have as many church attenders as possible involved in a small group. These groups, meeting regularly in homes, will become the basic unit of our church life.

The groups are:

where the Bible is studied and applied to lives
where deep relationships of care and commitment are built
where God is worshipped
where people come to know Jesus
where love is demonstrated to those outside the church.

Currently, 13 groups with 140 members meet weekly or fortnightly, on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights and Sunday afternoon. We are building a network with groups for all ages and stages. Interested in joining a group at TUC? Contact David Cornford.

Interested to talking to TUC about what we are doing, how we are going, what we are trying? Contact David Cornford.

Studying

Each group Leader, in consultation with the group and the Convenor, decides on a program of study.

In addition, at least once a year, there is a church wide study series. For example:
