Life Groups
Church. What do you think of when you hear that word? A building? A certain special day? A program at a certain time?
The Bible is very clear: “church” is a gathering of believers coming together to bring glory to God. That’s how church started at least—in the homes of
Christians, who would spend time together during the week, sharing moments that uplifted each other. This means we can be “church” at any time of the day, any day of the week, if we gather together in Jesus’ name.
At Wantirna, we want to expand on what the early church set in place. Church is more than just a few hours a week on a Sabbath, and we are especially; aware that post-COVID there is a longing for connection—outside of home and work—where we can recharge with fellow believers.
Our aim with Life Groups is to facilitate moments during the week where you can have the opportunity to be a part of this church family, with an interest and a time that suits you. Some groups are specifically spiritual, others are groups of leisure, but they all make up what we call “church.”
It is our prayer that as you connect with a Life Group, you would feel welcome as part our Wantirna church family.
