The nerves that connect the church together and make it vibrant are the relationships between its members. In Karen Vineyard, the relationships grow in groups that meet during the week - especially the home groups.

Here we meet together in gatherings of 8 to 15 people, often in the evening and some around a simple meal.

Different groups have different formats - there may be praise and worship, Bible study and prayer - but there is always an opportunity to take serious issues and work out the consequences for Christians in their daily lives.
