Who we are

Who's it for?
Anyone 15 or over, although it does tend to have a youth/young adult focus.  At the moment there are a few in their mid-teens, a large group in their later teens, a fair number in their early/mid 20's and two or three in their 30's/40's!

When/where do you meet?
Most Mondays at 154 St Stephens Road, Hounslow, from 7:30pm.  We'll try to officially finish by 9:15pm but people often want to stay on and chat some more.

What do you do?
Our aim is to get to know God – and one another – better.  We do this through socials, discussion, bible study, prayer, holidays, gigs and various other things. 

Every week is different but a typical evening consists of 15 minutes or more of general chat, coffee etc (which always over-runs!), then some kind of discussion, based on a video or bible study, then an opportunity to support one another, and might include praying for people (some people don't like to pray out loud and that's OK). 

In the summer we sometimes go to greenbelt festival and in spring we usually go to warcombe farm in devon to stay with a good friend called Geoff.

Also there is a more widely attended music event that we organise that you may be interested in..

Do have to be a Christian?
Absolutely not, but it is for people who are seeking to know more about God.  If you're just looking for a social group you'll need to look elsewhere.  But you will find us very sociable!

I used to be a keen Christian but now I've kind of slipped…
Join the club!  Most of us have had big ups and downs, and a big role of the group is that we can help each other through the difficult times.  There's a wide range in the group, from those who've made no Christian commitment to those who trying to be as committed as they can.  So wherever you're at you won't need to feel self-conscious.

I'd have to go to Maswell as well, wouldn't I?
No. A number of us go to the services at Maswell (especially Sunday night).  Others go to other churches and some rarely go anywhere!

I often have work or other commitments during the week so wouldn't always be able to make it
Some of the group come every week; others come just when they can.  Either way is fine – we'd rather see you occasionally than never!
