A life group is a small group of friends who meet up on a regular basis to eat together, support one another and share life together. Groups are usually made up of 6-12 people and they primarily meet in homes across the region.

We encourage life groups to meet most weeks, but we know that life can sometimes be chaotic and busy! Many of our groups find times to meet together that work around family life, work life and social lives.

There are a wide range of life groups at Living Rock. Some are location-based, some are interest-based and some are formed around people in a similar life-stage to each other. Naturally, each group will look a little different but we encourage all groups to focus on several things no matter what/where it is: eating together, discipling one another and serving their local community.

We get it – joining a brand new group of people for the first time can be really intimidating! There’s no pressure to dive in head-first right from the beginning. We trust that over time strong relationships and friendships will form with others in the group and you’ll find a safe place where you can encourage others and be encouraged yourself.

Children are a HUGE part of Living Rock – they make up approx 35% of who we are! We want to encourage all family members to be a part of church life. Some life groups may not be able to accommodate children as easily as others, depending on the focus of the group. Feel free to ask the group leader about how kids can fit in!

We believe that an important dynamic of a healthy, growing church is that life groups will grow and evolve over time. We tend to review the groups twice a year to find out which ones are working well, which ones should change and which ones are so big they should become multiple groups.

The Bible teaches us that the Church is for everyone, no matter your upbringing, history, past mistakes or opinions of who God is. The Church is for all nationalities, all ages, men, women, nurses, teachers, politicians, home-schoolers, students, retirees, dog-lovers… whoever you are, Church is for you!

Nope. We regularly have people visit us who are skeptical about Christianity and about Jesus, but are interested to find out more about what we believe. If you’ve ever had questions about life, faith, Jesus or Church then we’d love to meet you!

Sunday Celebrations usually last for 1 hour, but we always leave plenty of time before and after so that people can chat and catch up.

Potentially…! We sing together, we read the Bible together, we pray for each other, sometimes people ‘speak in tongues’ and raise their hands in the air during worship… it might seem weird at first, but these are all things that happen naturally when the Church gets together and are often our human responses to the amazing things that Jesus is doing in our lives.

Each Sunday we run HotRock – different groups for children of different ages that are designed to help them understand Jesus for themselves. Your children will feel right at home in our kids classes & creche, where they enjoy stories, games, crafts, and more! All of our volunteers are DBS checked and are passionate to make every child’s experience fun and exciting!

Whatever you feel comfortable in. We’re not a church that has a special dress code!

There is ample FREE parking when you arrive at the school. If you need assistance of any kind, you’ll find some friendly faces at the entrance to the school – they’ll be happy to help!
