We love the whole family, from birth to death…..and beyond!
Seriously though we recognise that adults have different needs to children and young people, and as such we realise that there is a need for spaces where we can develop our understanding of who God is. Part of how we do this is by making space in our lives for relationships with those who like what we like, and then going on a journey of discovery together.
Small Groups
These are groups of folks that what to know more about God and the life He calls us to through Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. How we do this will look different to different people. So we have groups focused around things like Crafts, Walking or Cycling. We have discussion groups, Bible Study and prayer groups. All of these are helpful ways of being ‘us’ whilst searching for and discovering how to live Christ like lives.
Prayer Group
Our WHO Prayer Meetings takes place on the first Tuesday of every month. When Heaven Opens is open to anyone who earnestly seeks to see God’s Kingdom Come in our Fellowship, the community in which we are called to serve and in this city. It is a time of seeking God’s heart, listening to His voice and praying out His word.
Cycling Club
This is an active group for those who wish to meet in a social environment to enjoy cycling, faith and fellowship. Various rides types are offered from Mountain Biking, Road and Trail riding, ranging from the gentle paced scenic canal towpath rides of around 7 miles up to hearty 70-mile long bike rides that take in hills and dales for the more adventurous among us. The shorter rides happen on Tuesday evenings between 7:30pm and 9:00pm, with the more adventurous rides taking place on Saturday Mornings.
While this is primarily an adult group there will also be rides organised that all the family can come along to (providing you have access to a bike). All cycling events are arranged through our Bolton Villas Cycling Club Facebook group, Strava BVCC or via Whatsapp. You can also contact Ric Haley on 07770 442930 to register your interest.
Men’s Ministry
We recognise that men have often struggled to connect with Jesus in this modern age. We want to try and overcome this by providing a way and space for men to plug into Jesus.
This might include games nights, meals out, discussions, cinema trips or even weekends away to events that are directly focused toward men. In addition there will be space for men, without embarrassment, to talk about things that bother them, be that life, health, faith or anything else.
Women’s Ministry
“She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31:25 (NLT)
We recognise that women young and old play a valuable part in the life of the church. Our aim is to support and equip women to live a Jesus-centred life in a tough world, with a programme of events, activities and study aimed directly at ladies that are tailored for them.
