Callaghan Groups
Small groups at Callaghan are groups of 5-10 students meeting weekly on campus. A leader coordinates the Biblical, interactive and practical discussions and activities. In each group you’ll be thinking about Jesus, learning to serve, making new friends, and practicing new skills. We’ll spend lots of time reading and discussing the Bible as we study passages together.
Topics covered include leadership, evangelism, learning to serve, answering tough questions about Christianity, worldviews, Bible storytelling, writing and leading Bible studies, and more!
Beginning in week 2 of semester, groups run til the end of semester, for 50-55min each week. They are normally in the Brennan Room or The House on the Shortland side of uni.
