Jesus Shaped People (JSP) is ‘a whole church discipleship adventure’ and it is my hope that everyone in our church family experiences this journey with us.
JSP is based on the life and ministry of Jesus, and helps churches to clarify their direction and to re-shape and energise their mission. We hope that by adopting it, individual lives and the life of our own church and local community will be enriched.
Over the next 15 weeks we will look at a number of different elements in Jesus Ministry as we explore what it means to be Jesus Shaped People.
Alongside our Sunday Services there will be weekly teaching notes, both available online and in church, and regular small groups to attend.
These Small groups will take place on a Wednesday (1.30 - 3.00 p.m.) in Church and on a Thursday (7.30 - 9.00 p.m.) on Zoom. If you would like to find out more about either of these sessions please get in touch with Rev’ Josh.
