Home Groups are a way of making friends and learning more about God together. They help us to grow in our relationship with God and to deepen our faith through studying the Bible, talking about it and applying it to our lives. They are informal gatherings in people's homes and often include time to chat and to pray. Food and drink seems to play a big part in all our home groups!

The home groups are welcoming and good fun, and the members are very supportive of each other. There are currently a number of home groups at St Peter's and each one is unique - they say a little bit about themselves in the next section. If you would like to join a home group, please talk to Sue or Nigel Tilly either by phone or via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

• ANGIE ROLLISON: "We are a warm, secure group of fun-loving, adaptable people, of mixed ages, who are sometimes ‘non-conformist’! We enjoy studying and sharing together."
• JEAN STAPLETON & ESTELLE HANCOCK: "We are an afternoon group for over 50’s, meeting fortnightly to read the Bible together and find it’s relevance to everyday living."
•  BILL & MAGGIE BROWN: "We are a mixed group of couples and singles, who hope to encourage one another to grow in Christ together. We meet in each other’s houses and share the leadership amongst us."
• BRIAN & EILEEN ANDREW: "We are a group who meets for study and discussion with mixed ages and stages of faith. We meet once a fortnight on Wednesday evenings to have fun and to get to know God and each other better."
• RAY CHICK & JOHN BRADLEY: "The essence of our group is to meet weekly for Bible study, prayer and fellowship. We believe we form a Christian team and work together on projects. We are a group of mature Christians who support each other in both our spiritual and family life with hospitality being just one of our strengths."
• HANG & JEAN: "Our Home group meets on Thursday evenings. We like to have social events now and then, such as going out for a curry, having a take-away, games evening or bring-and-share. Our main purpose however, is to support each other in our walk with God and so as we study the Bible we always seek to learn how scripture applies to our lives."
•  LIZ ELEY: "We are a diverse group of friends who socialise with God at our centre. We spend time in worship, Bible study and prayer and we have an active interest in supporting people in mission and enjoy an excellent standard of refreshments. We meet on Tuesdays except those when there is a central ‘Prayer Gathering’."
• NIGEL & SUE TILLY: "We are a group consisting mainly of people in their 20’s & 30’s who want to share life and learn to apply biblical teaching to all areas of our daily living. We’re not very good at doing religion, but we try to enjoy ourselves whilst we are discovering the life to which Jesus has called us, both individually and together."
• ROBIN & TERRY WOOD: "We meet each Wednesday evening of term time and spend our time in Bible study, prayer and fellowship. We celebrate birthdays and plan social events and projects. We have enjoyed discussions sessions which have been very thought provoking and we love joining in Church events such as Advent meditations and being creative and having the occasional meal together."
