Community Groups are an integral part of our outreach programme. It is a tried-and-tested model of community group that tackles isolation and gets people back into the community. They deal with the spiritual and emotional burdens that members may be facing by exploring issues such as forgiveness and thankfulness. They are a place where people can encounter the love of Jesus and respond to the good news of The Gospel.
'Coming to the group is helping me find peace out of chaos. in the group discussions, everyone contributes honestly and there's a real sense of family. I'm just beginning to discover that God loves me.'
HALIFAX COMMUNITY GROUP ATTENDEE
Our community groups offer support with recovery and mental health and to discover God, in a welcoming space where everyone is valued and encouraged on their journey.
In order to develop a strong faith in God, people need to build new foundations away from alcoholism and drug use. In addition, many people suffer from severe mental health related issues. The Light Group understands and appreciates these challenges and works with individuals to leave chaos behind and experience peace in supportive communities.
​
We use existing recovery resources and discussion points to help people maintain their journey but also consider rehabilitation and a life without drink and drugs. ​We encourage people to further access church and work with local church leaders to develop constructive pathways.
‘God is the restorer of what is broken. In your moments of deepest pain, He is already working to heal, to rebuild and to make you whole again.’
