Everyone in Sandyford is invited to be part of a smaller group where we can get to know one another far better. Here are the group options available:

Prayer Groups – every Wednesday evening we meet in prayer groups for the second half of our prayer meeting. Every member of Sandyford Church is automatically a member of one of these prayer groups, and anyone else is welcome to come and join a group. These are great times for praying for one another and issues that we’re concerned about. It’s an important time for us as a family.

Beta Bible Study – every Thursday at 7.15pm in the church hall. This is for anyone interested in joining an interactive study time. All interested please contact Bob Trelogan for more information.

Student Bible Studies – every Monday (Christian Students) and Tuesday (Enquiring Students) at 7.00pm- live in the church hall. All interested please contact our student worker Sarah Yang for more information

International Student Cafe – every Friday at 7.30pm in the church hall. Contact Garry Osbourne or Peter Billington for more information.
