Clusters and HouseGroups

Cluster Intro

We launched a two year Cluster pilot in September 2009.
However, we have a well established House Group system at Winchester Baptist for those wishing to remain in House Groups or already involved in missional activities and so not wanting to join a Cluster.

Clusters are mid-sized missional groups: 'communities with a cause' where people cluster around a cause and invite their friends to cause-linked gathering events (maybe once a month). Cluster members are also part of a 'Small Group' linked to the Cluster that meets two or three times a month for support, discipleship and occasional planning of Cluster events.

TRANSITION
We are a group of people in our teens or twenties who are in a
transitional stage of life. Whether it’s going on a gap year, starting in the work place, going to university or having just graduated; we aim to meet twice fortnightly to study God’s word, worship and pray together and then twice fortnightly to socialise with our mates, doing a whole range of
activities from visits to the pub or gigs, to bowling and cinema expeditions.

We want our lives to reflect Jesus in the big decisions of life and the small steps and choices we make everyday.

WOMAN 2 WOMAN
We are a group of women who organize fun events and evenings out for women of all ages in and around Winchester.
Through these events we hope to offer people the opportunity to strengthen and develop friendships which help us to value and support each other.
In so doing, we aim to show and share the love of Jesus with those whom we meet.

CONNECT
Connecting: us to each other, us to God, us to our neighbours, our neighbours to God.
This cluster aims to connect folk in Kings Worthy from all ages and stages of life, as an extended family of God. Food, Fun and Family Friendship
feature strongly in events, (ie- bbq, puddings and games, picnics and
frisbee) but so does ‘getting our hands dirty’ as we help our neighbours practically (litter picking, painting etc!).
(although we have a kings worthy focus, others who may wish to join in the family are welcome!)

VISION
Dream interpretation cluster.
"For God may speak in one way or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction." Job 33:14-16

Our Cluster aims to have fun exploring the ways God communicates to us through dreams, sometimes using symbolic language. It is the Holy Spirit who ultimately interprets our dreams, so we will be connecting with Him in the process! We believe God is speaking to the unchurched through dream language, just as He has always done throughout Scripture, so our intention is to ultimately connect with our unchurched friends whilst attempting to understand their dreams. We hope this will be fun, informative, and revelatory.
Meetings will be in our home, or in pubs, and restaurants!

FAVOUR
This is a group for anyone who is interested in getting their hands ‘dirty’ by helping the disadvantaged and the needy. In short we want to share the Lord’s Favour in simple and practical ways living the Gospel.

Potential involvement may be with the Winchester Nightshelter,
supporting the work of CAP, prison visiting, neighbourhood projects, the Winchester Christmas Families Project and linking up with the work of The Besom Foundation.

Honour: Mission to Seniors
The Mission to Senior Cluster, known in the church as 'Honour' is the group who see one of their main church roles as supporters of the invaluable missional work among the elderly of Winchester. Experience has shown us what great fun it can be to get to know this very special group of folk and to create opportunities for them to find fellowship and stimulating spiritual life. There are many opportunities for involvement ranging from occasional, with the 'Holiday at Home' each summer, to an ongoing, regular input into the monthly Silver Services, meetings etc. Appropriate training can be given. There is a small groups attached to the Cluster for those who like the home-group atmosphere. Although some of Winchester Baptist Church's senior folk do attend the Silver events, most of the specially-tailored meetings have the distinct flavour of outreach meetings for those who are un-churched or who are loosely affiliated with other churches. For more information please email. or telephone 868 770

LOCATION
Location is for anyone couples, singles, families, teenagers who want to support each other in showing & sharing Jesus more effectively to our friends, work colleagues & families wherever we are located!

We would do this en masse (safety in numbers!) by turning up to &/or helping with events & activities in which our members are already involved.

REAL LIFE
We are primarily a walking group and have been meeting regularly on a Friday for more than two years under the acronym of CLOWNS or Clapped Out Walking Nuts
We walk a lot, talk a lot, observe a lot, eat a lot, drink a lot, laugh a lot and have lots of fun.
Our objective while mixing in the community, is to try and dispel the myth that Christians in general, are human and not a load of serious Bible Bashing Stuffed Shirts.
