Group Leaders at Maybridge
This page is a resource developed with our Partnership Group Leaders in mind.
We know that leading a group can be challenging, so we’ve created this page to help equip you with ideas and resources.
CURRENT TEACHING SERIES
Everyone Everywhere: Acts
Like Christians through the ages, we believe the Bible to be full of timeless truth that can be applied anytime, anywhere; it’s God speaking to us. We’re beginning a new teaching series working our way through a book of the New Testament known as ‘Acts’. Our hope as we unpack this pivotal book, is to try to understand it, in context, and then think about what it has to say to us as followers of Jesus today. We’ve called the series ‘Everyone, Everywhere’ because at heart Acts is a message for everyone everywhere, about a person who is for everyone everywhere.
We’ll be sharing takeaway sessions for each week to download at maybridge.org.uk/takeaways.
CURRENT TEACHING SERIES
Everything We’ve Got
Each September, we take a few weeks to focus on what following Jesus looks like at our church for the year ahead and inviting one another to commit to doing so together.
This year’s Partnership theme is called Everything We’ve Got. Across three weeks, we’ll be looking at the themes of serving, giving, and receiving – and how they capture something of what it means to be part of Maybridge.
We’ll be sharing takeaway sessions for this series available to download at maybridge.org.uk/takeaways.

GROUP CHECKPOINT
Growing Together
We’ve created this group session to help everyone in your Partnership Group discuss the goals for groups at Maybridge and check-in with how your group is doing to answer the questions: What should we keep doing? What could we start doing? What should we stop doing?
We suggest all groups find the time to work through the checkpoint session together before Easter – around the halfway point in our annual cycle for groups.
