Our men gather regularly to build each other up, make new mates, and serve our church family.

We’re keen to create a community where the men of St Paul’s can grow spiritually, find support and build strong relationships.

Throughout the year you’ll find us gathering for breakfasts with guest speakers, watching the Origin on the big screen, and hosting teaching nights where we get stuck deeper into specific topics.

There are also lots of serving opportunities you can get involved in – volunteering your time is one of the best ways to feel connected here at St Paul’s! Look out for things like Help at Home where we get stuck into some cleaning, maintenance and gardening for those who need an extra hand. We’re also regularly called on to help out with BBQ’s and love having new guys join our team. Make sure you ask a member of staff if you aren’t sure how you might be able to serve.

Small Groups and One-to-One Bible Reading

Small Groups and One-to-One Bible Reading partnerships are at the heart of how we grow in faith and friendship at St Paul’s. 

They’re relaxed, welcoming spaces where you can ask honest questions, support one another, and walk closely with Jesus. No matter your age, background, or experience, there’s a group for you. If you're keen to find a group, please reach out and we will help you find a great fit!

I'd like to join a Small Group

Retiring with Purpose

A growing number of people are entering the ‘retirement’ stage of life. Although additional time for travel, hobbies and recreation can be a real joy, the idea of an endless carefree holiday/life is a myth. These years, if approached well, could be some of our most productive.

it is important that those entering retirement are:

•prepared for the transition

•understanding priorities and pitfalls

•have a clear sense of purpose for their lives – built on a foundation of serving others (Galatians 6:9)

•investing in their health – body, mind and spirit – to live productive lives

•connected with like-minded people/peers and drawing on older wisdom

•focused on finishing well the race of life

Our RWP group meets regularly for lunch, social gatherings and mentoring. We encourage you to reach out if this is something you would like to get involved in!

Once per year we also host a Retiring with Purpose evening event in March, with guest speakers and a particular emphasis on preparing for retirement well.

I'd like to find out more about RWP

SOUTH EAST ASIA

We share a deep affection for South East Asian people and long to see them fall in love with Jesus as we have. We’ve served as student ministers in churches in Sydney, where God grew our language and cultural understanding. In 2020 we visited South East Asia and met with Christian leaders and evangelists, as well as some of the beautiful children in Christian orphanages. God used this trip to convict us to serve the South East Asian people through cross-cultural mission there.

Many South East Asian Hindus are gripped by great spiritual fear and darkness. We hope to reach these people in evangelism, and train pastors and Christian leaders to do the same. Our aim is to encourage local believers to grow in their love for Jesus and their confidence to live out and share his gospel, to see a South East Asia that knows Jesus

SOUTH ASIA

John, Fiona and their children are enjoying life in this chaotic, fun part of Asia. As Director, John oversees many projects working with vulnerable people. Together they care and set vision for a team of local and foreign SIM workers serving in the community. This is a complex role and requires leadership of 40+ SIM members and associates of the team and oversight of the 80+ national staff. The team has a clear vision of establishing healthy churches among the majority people and are accomplishing this through a variety of means. Both Fiona and John are also involved in teaching and discipleship of church leaders.

GLASGOW

Glasgow is not the gospel city she used to be. Her streets used to rally around the motto “Lord let Glasgow flourish through the preaching of thy word and praising thy name.” Today, the motto is “People Make Glasgow” but the people who make the city are as devoid of Christ as their motto. Evangelical Christians now make up about 2% of the greater Glasgow area, with the East End an even more dire 0.3%. It is home to 276,000 people who desperately need Bible-teaching churches planted that will hold out the gospel of the Lord Jesus in a contextually appropriate way.

We are partnering with St Silas Episcopal Church to lead Glasgow’s first evangelical Anglican church plant for 150 years. The gospel generosity of St Silas and other evangelical churches from many denominations in Glasgow has been a huge encouragement to us, and we value your prayerful support for us on this venture.
