Exploring Christian Faith
Grow your faith in community
As followers of Jesus, our desire is to become more like Jesus in the way we live. This shapes our actions, our thoughts, our relationships and our responses.
If you would like to know more about this, you are welcome to attend worship with us, join a Life Group, attend Alpha, or contact The Salvation Army Parramatta for a chat.
Life groups
At Parramatta Salvos, we believe life groups are a place to connect where everyone can find support and belonging.
A life group is five to 10 people who meet regularly and intentionally, focusing on following Jesus together.
Alpha
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that create a safe and honest space where people can explore life, faith and meaning.
Alpha is suitable for anyone who wants to explore Christian faith. Everybody is welcome to ask questions, share their story and learn about Jesus no matter their age, background or belief.
Join a life group
Life groups are a space to grow — both in relationship with God and in our relationships with each other. It’s also a place to serve:
- Caring for those within our groups
- Joining together to make a bigger impact across our communities
Why life groups?
God designed his people to be in relationship with one another. As we meet intentionally with other followers of Jesus (disciples), study Scripture together and pray with one another — our lives are richly blessed, and we grow in our faith. We encourage all members of our church to journey with others in a life group.
Who are life groups for?
Everyone! We encourage people of high‑school age and above to connect with a life group.
Our team can help you find a life group. As groups grow, they will split and multiply. As new people join our church community, new groups will form. No matter where we are in our faith journey, we must be intentional about growing in discipleship.
How do life groups work?
- Life groups meet fortnightly for one to two hours
- Groups can meet in a home, a coffee shop, at church or online via Zoom
- Life group coordinators may provide materials to the groups to work through
- At times, we’ll participate in a whole‑church study together
- Other times, groups might choose to look at their own studies
The content isn’t the main thing. The focus is gathering and sharing life, discovering more of who Jesus is and how his life applies to ours.
