Small Groups
Midweek
Doing life together
Small Groups are a time to connect together in community and encourage each other in our daily walk as Christians. They are an opportunity to build close friendships within the church, and to support one another as we do life together.
The STBBC community meet regularly in smaller Midweek Small Groups, either weekly or monthly. Each Small Group has its own character and pattern, but all involve meeting together to pray and study the Bible.
Many of our Small Groups follow material that relates to our Sunday services, helping to unpack passages of the Bible further and discuss how they apply to our lives. They also give us a great opportunity to develop friendships and grow together through sharing, praying and socialising with one another.
Most of our Small Groups meet in local homes on different evenings, although a number meet at other times during the week.
How they work
Finding your group
There is no single shape to a small group. These are the things they all have in common.
Weekly or monthly
Groups meet either weekly or monthly, so there is a pattern to suit the season you are in.
In local homes
Most groups gather in homes around Shoeburyness on different evenings, with some meeting in the daytime instead.
Prayer and Bible study
Every group prays and studies the Bible together, often unpacking the passages we have looked at on a Sunday.
