Life Groups

We currently have four Life Groups meeting during the week. These mostly meet in homes and mostly in the evenings. These are places where we seek to grow in our faith and understanding of each other. We find the Life Groups help us to form strong relationships with people in the church community. They are also places where we can ask questions that we don’t always get the chance to do on Sundays. Assistant Pastor, Stevie Roy has overall responsibility for Life Groups so feel free to chat about getting into a group.

Friday Fellowship

The Friday Fellowship meets once a month and is for older members of the church, and the community. Meetings are held on the last Friday of every month. These are times of fellowship around a light supper and there is always quality ministry on the night, too. People come from many of the churches and the local residential centres for our older people in the community. There is usually an annual outing which is always a success.

Oxygen

We see Oxygen as a safe environment where young people are allowed to voice the questions they have. We see Oxygen as a place for young people to be challenged about what they believe and about the lives they lead. We see Oxygen as a place for friendships to develop that will allow your child to feel valued, loved and accepted. We see Oxygen as a place where young people can learn from those around them and from those who have experience.


We meet on a Thursday evening in Bathgate where we play games, talk about God and the Christian faith, and eat loads of food. We also attend PowerPoint in Edinburgh and have socials like LaserQuest, M&D's and BBQ's. This group is led by Rhashed, Lois and Lyndsay, please speak to one of them if you would like more information.

Rainbow Kids

Rainbow Kids is Church for children who are pre-school up to first year in secondary school. They meet on Sundays in ANSWER House, next to the church building between 12pm & 1pm. This means that children who wish to, can be part of the church service for worship for a short time, before their own service starts. Alana is the main leader and is assisted by a team of capable teachers. The children break up into small groups for teaching aimed at their age group.
