Christian Care

Christian Care is love and grace in action – offered by those who have personally experienced God’s love. It flows from the love God has shown us and moves us to reach out to others in need.

Whether you’re new or just exploring, we hope you’ll experience that same care in our 

St Thomas’ community.

Care in DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS  (DGs)

Our DGs meet regularly and provide a caring community around God’s Word and prayer. It’s where we can grow as wholehearted disciples and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus and others.

Christian Care is organically carried out through our DG’s as we share our lives together.

Our DG’s are congregationally based and meet throughout the week at various times and locations. We have mixed groups, men’s and women’s groups. If you are not in a DG, we encourage you to contact us for more information.

Care through MEAL SUPPORT

Meals may be needed when a baby is born, or someone is experiencing hardship or illness of some kind. Meals can also be used to care for those in our community with whom we have contact. If you know someone, or need meals yourself, and you are not in a Discipleship Group, please click below.

Care through VISITING

In cases of crisis, illness, loneliness, isolation or need, you might find a visit helpful. We can also read the Bible and pray with you.

If you know someone, or would like a visit yourself, and you are not in a Discipleship Group please click below.

Care through a WELCOMING AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

Whether you are a regular member or visiting for the first time, we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can participate fully in the life of our church.

We are committed to being accessible and inclusive of people with a wide range of needs, including children and youth. Our prayer is that everyone who comes in our doors will experience a warm welcome and a genuine sense of belonging within our church community.

We believe listening is essential. We want to hear from you about how we can better support you and help make your experience at church one where you feel truly included and valued.
