St. Thomas' Church - a Family of Home Churches
Home Church is a friendly gathering of about 6-12 people. We help each other grow in our faith, have some fun and experience the kind of caring environment we all need.
It is a place where we can develop our personal relationships and encourage one another to identify and exercise our God-given gifts and abilities, to fulfil our potential and destiny in Jesus.
Home Church is not just another meeting, but a group where dynamic loving, caring and accountable relationships facilitate discipleship and outreach. We believe every member of a Home Church has a part to play and we encourage each other to contribute to both the Home Church and the wider community.
All our Home Churches have their own flavour, but the DNA is the same. A typical meeting could look something like this...
Welcome: 20 mins of chat and coffee, aimed at getting to know each other better.
Worship: 15 mins of focus on God using songs and reflection.
Bible: 30 mins discovering how the Word of God can be applied to our lives.
Ministry: 15 mins to pray for each other, making space for the Holy Spirit to impact our lives.
Prayer: 10 mins to pray for and to plan events for those outside our Home Church family.
Home Churches are at the very centre of all we do at St. Thomas'. If you consider yourself a member of St. Thomas' Church, you should belong to one. If you are new to St. Thomas' the best way to get to know people, the best way to develop your relationship with God is to join a Home Church!
