Sunday mornings is about family time together with fun and games, time to chat, time to learn more of who Jesus is and who we are in him in groups appropriate to our age. Always at the centre is Jesus, his gift of life and constant presence with us.

Sunday morning is fairly fluid and you cannot always be certain what will happen but the general format includes Family fun, prayer, praise and worship, teaching, time for tea or coffee and a chat (or fellowship). All in a relaxed, family atmosphere. Sunday mornings are a crammed family time to be eagerly anticipated at the beginning of each week.

Meeting once per month on 2nd Wednesday each month at 8pm in the Emmanuel Centre. This is an opportunity for distinctly male issues to be aired and discussed openly without the interference of women. It is an opportunity for men to build relationships, to give support and to share the burden of the challenges men face in this modern world.

The wild man events, such as High ropes, camping, trips to France, penalty shoot out competitions, give the men in Emmanuel the opportunity to play together doing things which they enjoy and frequently find challenging. The foundation idea of wild man is to challenge the ideas, boundaries and expectations of the men in Emmanuel so they dare to believe what God can do in them and through them.

Meeting once per month on the 4th Wednesday each month at 8pm in the Emmanuel Centre.  This is an opportunity for distinctly female issues to be aired and discussed openly without the interference of men. The wonder woman events give the women in Emmanuel the opportunity to play together doing things which they enjoy. The foundation idea of wonder woman is to challenge the ideas, boundaries and expectations of the women in Emmanuel so they dare to believe what God can do in them and through them.

Meeting the 1st and 3rd week of each month on Wednesday or Thursday.  The cell groups are there to build relationship, bring teaching and understanding. The cell meets in the Group leaders home and provides a small intimate family unit. It is a place to really get to know the others in your church and to play together, chat together and study together. In this intimate family environment we grow together in the life, the love and the understanding of Jesus, and ourselves.

Equipping is an essential part of growing to maturity. We send our children to school not just to gain qualifications but to learn to be a useful mature member of society. At school we learnt to socialize, to make friends and keep friends, to communicate effectively, and the Ethos and DNA of the British society. So it is with the kingdom of God we need to be equipped to understand the Ethos and DNA of the kingdom of God in order to become mature sons and daughters. Emmanuel has a range of resources for equipping the family, from the Alpha course to sonship and fatherhood to Leadership training school.

All designed to take the young new Christian through to become mature sons and daughter’s leading others into the new life Jesus offers.

Some are brought as part of the cell group format others like leadership training school are laid on when periodically as they are needed.
