What Are Small Groups?

At St Mark’s, small groups are intimate gatherings of individuals who come together to share life, fellowship, and explore their spiritual paths. These groups provide a safe and nurturing environment where members can express their thoughts, doubts, and joys while encouraging one another. Our small groups are open to anyone who seeks to deepen their relationship with God, regardless of their background or previous religious experience.

Each small group at St Mark’s follows a tailored curriculum, designed to inspire meaningful discussions and promote personal growth. Our group leaders, with their diverse backgrounds and extensive knowledge, guide and facilitate conversations that help participants explore topics like prayer, meditation, forgiveness, and Christian teachings in the context of everyday life.
