Adult ministries

Ways to connect with your church family

At Whetstone Baptist Church we offer a number of groups for adults that cater for a variety of needs and provide a way to be connected with the church family.

These groups help everyone to explore faith, deepen their relationship with God, and share life together. The primary ministry is small groups, but, as you see below, there are other ways to connect too.

Adult ministries

Small Groups

Our small groups typically comprise 8-12 people, and meet on small numbers in homes, at church or online. They provide a safe place where you can:

Small groups also provide an opportunity to make new friends, have fun and socialise together.

Find out more about small groups or ask about about joining a group by contacting Nick Swanson or the church office on 0116 286 3145

Safeguarding

Safeguarding adults at risk

We provide safeguarding guidance and training for all people involved with running adults activities, so that as a church community we can help vulnerable adults to safely join in with the life of the church.
