At St Paul's, what opportunities do I have to grow in faith?
|
As disciples of Jesus, we grow through being centred in Him, mentored in core relationships, connected with other Christians, celebrating together in worship and being commissioned by Jesus to go into all the world and share His love for all people! We call it the 5Cs!

Core
Core is about mentoring and meaningful conversations. Everybody needs caring people in their lives. Sometimes we call those people mentors - often they are older people, usually of the same gender, who we can develop trusted relationships with. Sometimes, these relationship are formed over coffee and conversations, sometimes these relationships are formed through really tough times.
Connect
Gathering with other Christians is a vital way of growing and sharing life, faith and what we hear and experience in worship. How can we help you connect?

"The best testimony to the truth of the Gospel is the quality of our life together....The character of our shared life - as congregations, communities and families - has the power to draw people to the kingdom or to push them away. How we live together is the most persuasive sermon we'll ever get to preach." (Living into Community, Pohl; Erdmans, 2013 p 2)
