Connect Groups

Sharing life and faith

We believe that faith is best lived out with others and so encourage individuals to join a small group. Methodism has repeatedly affirmed the way in which small groups can enrich an individual’s faith.

We call our groups, “Connect groups”. They vary in style and approach, but all aim to build each other up.

We hope that reading through the descriptions below will help you choose a group to try out. Someone on the leadership team would also be happy to help you choose one to try.

Once you’ve chosen a group you'd like to try out, contact us (info@romseymethodist.church) and we’ll link you up with the group leader.

Ideas Exchange

At each session we work through questions to help us to consider life and connect with each other. There is no focus on practising or growing in faith, but we do discuss some topics related to faith. Instead this group is about feeling connected to others. Contact us to find out the date of the next session.
