At St. John's we believe that interaction, Bible study, learning, sharing and prayer in small groups is an essential way in which our faith in Jesus Christ grows and is strengthened. We run home groups, bible studies and various cell groups locally and in various placesd across Auckland from the south to the west. One of these cells is worship focussed. The minister (or one of our elders) runs a Bible Study weekly on Tuesday mornings at church from 10am-11:30am. On occassion specialised courses such as Alpha and the current Valiant Man Course are run. Additionally we have a number of Men's 4x4 groups. If you are interested in joining any one or more of these groups contact the office for details.
