Faith grows best around a table

Sundays are for the whole family; weekdays are for your group. Sixty-plus Common Ground Groups meet in living rooms, cafés and the church centre across Hawkridge — eight to twelve people sharing food, opening the Bible, praying honestly and watching out for one another.

Find your group

Groups gather every weekday evening plus Tuesday and Thursday mornings. There are groups for students, young professionals, parents, over-60s, new believers and seekers — tell us your postcode and your season of life, and Michelle will match you within a week.

City Table Pantry

Every Saturday, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall. No referral needed, no questions asked: fresh food, a hot drink, debt and benefits advice, and someone to talk to. Last year our volunteers packed over 11,000 parcels — and every guest is greeted by name.
