blacktown east presbyterian church

Life at the heart of our church is in our Home Groups. Becoming a member of a Home Group is the best way to connect with our community and to be encouraged through the Bible and by group members.

Home Groups, as the name suggests, meet in members homes throughout the week. The purpose of the groups is to help us grow as disciples, or followers, or Jesus Christ.

The groups are led by experienced congregation members. The sermons / Bible talks are often linked to the home group studies to facilitate an in-depth understanding of the Bible passage for that particular week.

There is a group to suit most of our members, with about 6 or so groups meeting at a number of different times throughout the week. As each group meets it will spend time studying and discussing the Bible, praying, and mutually supporting and encouraging it members. Of course, these shared times of spiritual nurture result in warm friendships and networks of genuine Christ-like care.
