Small Groups

We have many small groups – we call them 'Life Groups' – meeting at different times during the week, at various locations in Abingdon and the surrounding area. They provide a place for spiritual growth, focus and encouragement. Although the groups are different, they have the same vision and purpose – to build community and to strengthen relationships, with Christ at the centre. Browse the group list below and then speak with one of the team on a Sunday for help with finding the group that might suit you best.
