The Global Community...
In Global we contextualise the Gospel by bringing people into a
community of love, demonstrated with unity in the group within its
diversity. Friendship is a primary focus. People sit, eat and talk and
make friends. Friendships are formed in singing groups, drama teams,
small groups, sport and picnic activities. Global leaders show care in
many ways, pastoral care; assistance with English; familiarizing people
with the way of life in NZ; cooking and sharing food; hosting
Internationals in their homes for meals and help.
Wednesday Bible Study...
The Wednesday night meeting starts with communal worship, then small
groups gather for studies and discipleship. Omega is one program we
use; a cyclic intentional program, to grow people as followers of Jesus
and help disciples become disciple makers. Starts with welcome and
announcement, and singing. Then we explore the Bible (the world ’ s
most popular book). We also have discussions in small groups.
Celebrations...
Global celebrates the richness of cultures. In worship, 4 ethnic music teams lead praise of God in different languages.
