Growth Groups
Grow in Faith, Build Friendships, and Share Life.

Are you looking for a deeper connection with others and with God? At Upminster Baptist Church, our Small Growth Groups provide the perfect environment to grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and find encouragement on your spiritual journey.
What Are Small Growth Groups?
Small Growth Groups are regular gatherings of 8–12 people who meet to share life, study the Bible, pray, and encourage one another. They are an integral part of church life, offering a space where you can be known, supported, and challenged to grow in your faith.
Why Join a Growth Group?
- Deepen Your Faith: Study God’s Word in a relaxed, interactive setting and learn how to apply it to your daily life.
- Build Friendships: Form genuine connections with others in a smaller, more personal group setting.
- Receive Support: Experience the care and encouragement of a close-knit community during life’s highs and lows.
- Grow Spiritually: Share experiences, ask questions, and explore ways to grow in your walk with God.
What Happens in a Growth Group?
Each group meeting typically includes:
- Bible Study: A focused discussion on a passage or theme from the Bible.
- Prayer: An opportunity to pray for one another’s needs and the wider community.
- Sharing Life: Honest conversations about joys, challenges, and how faith intersects with everyday life.
- Fellowship: Time to simply enjoy each other’s company, often with tea, coffee, and light refreshments.
