We have two types of courses available. The first for you to grow can be found on our “Tuesdays In The Kitchen” page.
The second set are for those who want to go further, and because we have a Church Membership with the Willow Creek Association, our church members can be individually registered to gain access to their online member only courses.
(A selection of the courses are shown on this page. Click on the picture to access the web page related to each.) The variety available is constantly changing too – these are just a selection.
That means you can work on your Leadership or Preaching skills at any time of the day or evening – whenever its convenient for you.
If you want to access any of these you need to be a regular member of St Jude’s.
If you would like to be registered to access the courses you will need to drop Tim an e-mail.
It is church. A regular gathering of up to 20 or so folk in homes, instead of the church buildings, who want to worship God, grow in Jesus and each other, find a ministry and be involved in mission - and are therefore open to folk joining them. (We also have several Fellowship Groups who have chosen, for a while, to be closed to new members – our definition of the difference between Small Groups and Fellowship Groups) Clergy are not needed for the groups. The life of the group and worship is defined by the group under the sole leadership of Jesus as they wait on Him.
Small Groups will form a major component of the life of St Jude’s across Plymouth as they evolve. While we are a parish church, we recognise we are also a city church, and we want to make provision for folk to have close fellowship in their own local area as we grow.
Planning for Small Groups
Across January and Febuary 2010 we ran a series called RNLI Small Group Church, and then in April we launched some material for our current groups to explore how they may evolve to fulfil the varied need of their group to be Rescuing, Nurturing, Loving and Including.
How do I join a Small Group?
The whole of our Small Group set up is evolving across the summer of 2010. The best thing is to come into one of our services and ask folk what is available. You can also get a feel for the character each of our group’s by having a look through our Small Group Portal.
So much of church life is about being together and doing things with others. And if you like cute, you’ll like this short cartoon that helps to illustrate community…
Apart from the services, we also have a range of Small Groups that get together, a variety of social events across the year such as beach days, quiz nights, Sing-a-long film evenings, book clubs, film nights, the World Cup on large screen tv…
If you look at our News page you’ll get the most up to date events – or maybe just have a meander around the site!
