Small Group Ministry at Wellington Square
Here at Wellington Square we want to support and encourage life-long learning and growth in discipleship. We believe that Small Group Ministry is an excellent way for adults to learn more about the Bible, come to terms with the challenges of living as Christ-followers, and to deepen our relationships with God.

The Chosen
COME AND SEE!
Lent Study: The Chosen, starts March 2 2022
You are invited to join us this Lent for a small group study featuring the ground-breaking TV series, “The Chosen”. This series is a beautiful depiction of the human and divine aspects of Jesus and it portrays Jesus through the eyes of those who met him. The Chosen stays faithful to the Gospels while also telling the story in between the lines of scripture. This is a fresh look at the Gospels for those who may have been reading the stories for years. No matter where you are at in your journey with Jesus, this is for you!
Wednesday Evenings at 7pm March 2 – April 20, 2022
In-person at the church. (proof of vaccination with QR code required)

Small Groups Mission
Our Vision
To have every person connected in a healthy Small Group.
Our Mission
To live out the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-39) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20)
There are many avenues to explore in seeking a relationship with God: learning on your own (Bible reading, online, movies, and DVDs), in large groups (courses, speakers, workshops, retreats, conferences) in our congregation (Sunday worship, church events, mission activities) and in our small groups (bible study, mission/prayer and support groups) — all of which offer opportunities to connect into our community of faith and grow in your relationship with Jesus. Blessings on your journey.
