ANCC LIFE GROUPS
Life Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design.
Whether you have never been to a Life Group before or have been journeying with one for years, this is the perfect time to join in.
We are committed to continually growing as disciples of Jesus
A disciple of Jesus is someone who STUDIES THE WORDS of Jesus, IMITATES THE WAYS of Jesus, and PARTNERS IN THE MISSION of Jesus.
At All Nations Community Church, the most effective way to grow as a disciple of Jesus is within the life groups where we can meet regularly, do life together, and serve together.

What is a Life Group?
Made for Community
We believe God created us to live in relationship with others, and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design.
A Life Group is a small group of people from All Nations who meet every week to open the Bible, pray and support one another. It is where Sunday faith becomes everyday faith.
Whether you have never been to a Life Group before or have been journeying with one for years, this is the perfect time to join in.
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”Acts 2:42
Our heart
Connect, Protect and Grow
Three words that sum up what happens when we do life together.
01
Connect
Find your people
God created us for relationship. A Life Group is a small circle where people know your name, notice when you are missing, and make church feel like family.
Real friendships, not just a Sunday hello
A welcome for every age, background and nation
Room to share life, laugh and eat together
02
Protect
Care for one another
In a Life Group no one has to walk through life alone. We pray for each other, check in through the week, and stand together in the hard seasons.
Prayer for the things that matter to you
Practical care when life gets tough
Leaders who look out for the group
03
Grow
Become more like Jesus
We open the Bible together, ask honest questions and help each other put faith into practice at home, at work and across Wythenshawe.
Bible study that connects with everyday life
Honest conversation and encouragement
Serving our church and community together

Growing as disciples
Committed to Growing as Disciples of Jesus
A disciple of Jesus is someone who studies the words of Jesus, imitates the ways of Jesus, and partners in the mission of Jesus. At All Nations Community Church, the most effective way to grow as a disciple is within a Life Group, where we meet regularly, do life together and serve together.
Study
The words of Jesus
We read and talk through the Bible together, so we know what Jesus said and taught.
Imitate
The ways of Jesus
We encourage each other to live the way Jesus lived, at home, at work and in our community.
Partner
In the mission of Jesus
We pray for and serve Wythenshawe together, sharing the love of Jesus with the people around us.
Better Together
“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
Hebrews 10:24

Questions People Ask
Still wondering? We are happy to talk it through.
Do I need to know the Bible well?
Not at all. Life Groups are for everyone, whether you have followed Jesus for years or are just starting to explore faith. Come as you are and ask any question you like.
Do I have to be a member of the church?
No. Life Groups are open to anyone who would like to connect, whether you come on Sundays or not. Many people find a group is the easiest way to get to know the church.
How do I join a group?
Choose a group above and tap Join this group. Fill in the short form and the group leader will get in touch to welcome you.
Where do the in-person groups meet?
In-person groups meet in homes around Wythenshawe. For everyone’s privacy we don’t publish addresses online. The leader will share the details once you have signed up.
How do the online groups work?
Online groups meet on Zoom, so you can join from home. Once you sign up, the leader will send you the link.
Will I be asked to pray or read out loud?
Only if you want to. You are welcome to listen until you feel at home, and no one will put you on the spot.
Does it cost anything?
No. Life Groups are free and open to all.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, please do. Friends, family and neighbours are always welcome. Just let the group leader know you are coming.
What if none of the times suit me?
Get in touch and tell us a little about yourself. We will help you find the right group or let you know when a new one starts.
