Weekly Small Group Gatherings
Monday - Friday
In homes around Welling and Bexley
Our small group gatherings allow our church to continue spiritual fellowship and Bible teaching in different homes across our community each night of the week.

If you would like to know more about our small groups, please feel free to reach out to one of our pastors by contacting Discover@WellingChurch.com.
Autumn 2024 Term
The second term of home gatherings will start the week of 23-27 September. Each group will be doing a different study, so please pray about which study will be most beneficial to your current walk with God. We pray these groups will be a huge blessing to your walk with God and help create new relationships in the church for meaningful fellowship.
Monday — Women Helping Women
You could argue that as a Christian woman, there are only two ways of living: you either live for yourself, or you live as an ambassador for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Because of your sinful nature, your heart will be inclined to love yourself, serve yourself, and live for yourself. But God has called you to something radically different – to love Him, serve Him, and live for Him. You have been called to be an ambassador for the King of Kings.
Living as an ambassador for Christ is a high and difficult calling. That is why pastor, author, and international conference speaker Paul David Tripp has developed Women Helping Women, a new six-session study for women who want to live as ambassadors for Christ in their everyday life. But before you can properly represent your King, you need to know who He is. This study will focus on the character of God and His plan of redemption. It will also focus on you, a sinner living among other sinners in a fallen world. This teaching will help you to evaluate the sinful tendencies of your heart and why it is a struggle to live everyday as an ambassador.
Don't miss out on the life that God has called you to. With Women Helping Women, you can be part of something glorious!

Wednesday — The Deeply Formed Life
Five Transformative Values that Root Us in the Way of Jesus
Following Jesus in our world can be a challenge. Our pace can be too frenetic to be in union with God, and we often don't know how to quiet our hearts and minds to be present with him. But God calls us into a life of purpose in communion with him. Join pastor and author Rich Villodas in this five-session series as he teaches us five practices that will take us from simply "being Christians" to being deeply formed by Christ.

Wednesday — Ecclesiastes: Part 1
Where to Turn When Life Lets You Down
Life is a gift, but it rarely turns out how we expect. We're convinced things like wealth, power, fame, and control will give us meaning and lead us to a flourishing life—but, every time, they let us down. So where do we go when the bottom falls out? Where do we turn when things are going great but we still feel empty?
In this ten-session series, pastor Jonathan "JP" Pokluda takes us through the book of Ecclesiastes and shows us that we are not alone in our search for meaning. Join JP and discover how God himself, not the things of this world, satisfies our deepest desires for meaning.
