Godfirst
Communities

Church is so much more that Sunday meetings and great buildings. At Godfirst we aim to be a community of Jesus disciples on mission with Him.

At Godfirst we have small mid-week groups called 'Godfirst Communities' or G1C's, which is the main context for gospel based friendships to forge us into a community that loves and applies the truths of scripture to help us become better followers of Jesus as His disciples.

We are convinced that as we do life as a community of Jesus disciples, our friends, neighbours, family members, work collegues and school friends, will all come to experience God's love and goodness through us and come to know Him themselves.

Some of our G1C's are based broadly around a geogrpahic area, whilst others are based around relationships. What they all have in common, is the desire to help one another get and keep God first in our lives.

Church is not a building you attend. It’s a community where you belong, a family where you know and are known, love and are loved, where you share the life of Jesus together.
