ministries for adults

We have a range of groups, activities and ministries that enable people to find a place to belong, be nurtured, grow, get support and find healing.  Read more below.

Small Groups
We believe that the best way to belong, grow and find support at Parafield Gardens Uniting Church is through participating in a small group.

We have a range of small groups to meet the needs of people of different ages and life situations.  They meet mostly in homes at a variety of times during the day and evening.

While each group has its own personality they all meet around the common purposes of growing in faith by studying the Bible together, offering mutual support and care and praying together.

Men
We have a growing men’s group.  Currently they meet monthly for a range of activities that foster mateship, service, learning and the kind of fun that blokes appreciate. Each event is geared to be open to visitors or regulars bringing a friend. 

We believe men have a vital role in growing healthy boys so our men occasionally join with the boys of our church for all age activities and to build positive relationships across the age spectrum.  

Check our calendar of events page for the next men’s get together.

Women
Women from our church get together informally and we are planning for a more structured ministry in the future.

Check our calendar of events page for the next Women’s get together.

Pastoral Support, Healing and Recovery Groups
We believe that Jesus came to heal, restore, transform and give abundant life to all.  As such we have teams who are available to help people find healing and wholeness through pastoral and practical support, healing prayer and recovery groups.
