Worshipping Community Leads

Each of our three geographical worshipping communities (West, East and Central), whilst being supported by the wider leadership, have their own oversight teams. These groups are tasked with developing and delivering the individual vision of each of the worshipping communities, in conjunction with the wider vision and focus of the church (ARISE). They will be aware of the pastoral and prayer needs within their worshipping community and will take the lead in developing what the ‘gathered’ and ‘scattered’ life of their worshipping communities looks like.

In addition to these three worshipping communities, we have two further worshipping communities – Lanterns and Lighthouse –  with a focus on particular people groups.

We believe God is good and loving and has shown us what he’s like through Jesus. We believe Jesus is real and alive (although not around in the flesh anymore) and wants to be in a relationship with each one of us.  We believe that relationship can make a difference to your family, work, community, environment . . . in fact everything! And we’d love to get to know you more and to show you a bit more of who Jesus is.
