House Fellowship
CT@Home is the name for the house fellowship groups at Croydon Tabernacle, which meets every forthnight on Tuesday evenings. The house fellowship groups are where every member of the church can be reached and catered for personally. It is easier for a church to touch lives of its members in a practical way via small groups like the house fellowship than in a large gathering. House fellowships are a place of comfort, sharing, caring, provision, building friendships, building faith, support and companionship.
Some benefits of joining a house fellowship group include:
- You will begin to really feel like part of God’s family
- You will receive customized care
- You will not have to go through struggles alone
- You will have another forum to share Christ with friends, neighbours and work associates
- You can begin to understand the Bible better in a house fellowship group
We hope to see you and your family at a group soon. For more information about CT@Home Groups, please contact the Church Office
