Small Groups
Small groups are an important part of church life at New Town. It is our desire to have every member of the church involved in a small group. Involvement in a small group is a way to develop an identity within the larger church body, and equips us all to grow in our own walk with the Lord and as a member of a faith community. Small groups include bible studies, home groups, support groups, adult Sunday school classes, youth small groups or special interest groups. We invite you to be part of a small group, and if you don't find one that matches your interest, start one! To learn more about small group life at New Town, contact Stephanie Turner, Director of Program Ministries:
Home Groups
We have several groups that meet weekly or every other week in homes for Bible study, discussion, prayer and fellowship. Many of our existing groups will enthusiastically welcome new members, and we are happy to help you start a new group. Contact our Director of Program Ministries for help with starting a new group, resources and materials for group use, or to connect to an existing group.

Alpha
New Town offers the Alpha course twice a year. This 15 session course on the basics of Christianity is offered in churches and other venues around the world. Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course usually meets once per week for 10 weeks, and includes an amazing one-day retreat session. At each session, people enjoy great food, laughter and learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile. For more information about Alpha at New Town contact our Director of Program Ministries. For more information about the Alpha course in general and opportunities http://alphausa.org/
