Find your people.

Commit to community.

We long for the mountain-top moments of our large Sunday gatherings to be matched by living-rooms moments in small midweek Groups. We want Aldates to be your home and for you to find people to grow in faith with. Which is why we would love for you to consider committing to an Aldates Group. Church can be so much more than 2-hours on a Sunday!

What is an Aldates Group?

An Aldates Group is a community of 10-15 people loving, encouraging, and supporting each other in their life and faith. They meet weekly to eat together, pray together, and study the Bible together. Aldates Groups is for you if you want to:

…Go Deeper with God,

Aldates Groups are where learning to follow Jesus becomes personal and transformative.

Go deeper with one another,

Aldates Groups are where we long for relationships to move beyond pleasantries to authentic, life-shaping communities.

…for the sake of the city and beyond,

Aldates Groups exist to inspire and encourage us to become people who overflow in love and service to the city and beyond.

And have fun along the way.

Life with Jesus is full of joy! Aldates Groups are where fun and friendships can flourish.

  • Over two nights, we’ll discuss the what, why, and how of Aldates Groups. We want you to know the joy and richness of what you’ll step into, as well as the shared commitments that make our groups flourish.

    Our next Groups Vision Course will take place on 8th and 15th October, 7.30pm-9pm.

    Sign up is essential - which you can do here.

  • At the end of the short course, we will then place you into a small group of people who live in your part of the city.

    If you can’t make it to our next Group Vision Course, you can still sign up to join a group by emailing us at groups@staldates.org.uk

How to join a group.

Lead an Aldates Group.

Group leaders act as core members and community pastors of St Aldates. You don’t need a theology degree, have a large house, or be an extroverted socialite - just a heart to serve and follow Jesus! If you want to learn about leading an Aldates Group, we would love to hear from you.
