Get Involved
Small Groups
Small Groups are midweek communities that gather as a place to belong and live out the vision of St Paul’s together; to be a ‘Growing Community, Shaped by Jesus’. Each group spends time together exploring what this looks like in prayer, Bible study, worship and loving those around them. You can find some handy resources here to help your Small Group seek God together.

St Paul's Kitchen Garden
Part of our grounds have been converted into a fruit and vegetable garden. This is a friendly space where all the work is done by volunteers, either from the local area or from the church. There is always a warm welcome waiting for anyone who would like to visit or join in. No gardening skill is necessary, just an enjoyment of the outdoors!
All the food grown here is either given to food charities such as Foodbank or PAFRAS, or it is distributed among the volunteers.
Sessions run on Thursday mornings, 10:30am-12:30pm, from mid March to October. See our Facebook page for updates, or get in touch to find out more.
