ONLINE MEETINGS
for church members
LET'S CONNECT ONLINE
During the current COVID-19 global outbreak it's important that we keep meeting and connecting in fellowship within our Life Groups and other settings in a meaningful and personal way. As a church we are committed to ensuring that it remains easy for you to maintain a strong sense of community with fellow group members and that you can continue delivering a powerful message of hope in Jesus Christ to those all around you.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
LIFE GROUP MEMBERS
WE WILL KEEP MEETING
Whether in person or online, it's important that each Life Group continues to meet on a weekly basis, unless further direction is given by the church leadership.
​
During this period of disruption due to COVID-19, we encourage you to remain in stay close communication with your fellow group members. Fellowship with other believers is such an important part of our spiritual growth and maturity, and provides strength, synergy and other benefits that are not possible on our own.
​
During this period we'll try to keep holding groups at the same time as usual, to minimise further disruptions.
HOW TO CONNECT TO ONLINE MEETINGS
We will be using Zoom and Google Hangouts for the purposes of facilitating Online Life Group Meetings. These apps are both very easy to use and we're assure that you'll be up and running and enjoying online fellowship with your group in a jiffy!
​
We encourage you to follow the instructions provided below to download and set up these apps onto your phone/computer prior to your scheduled Online Life Group session. If you are having any trouble, please do not hesitate to reach out to the church office for further assistance:
ZOOM
(PREFERRED OPTION)
Zoom is a dedicated online meeting solutions provider. The software is free in its basic version and the quality of the meeting video and audio is excellent. The many features that are available and built-in to this tool mean that meetings can be held smoothly and seamlessly in a highly engaging way.
​

​
Step 1:
Download the Zoom app via the App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android. You can also use Zoom on a desktop device with a built in camera and microphone. Head to the Zoom website to download the software for free.
​
Step 2:
Tap the “Join a Meeting” button. You can sign up for an account if you wish to. This may help to streamline future experiences and interactions within the app.
​
​
Step 3:
Fill the "Meeting ID" field with the unique number that your life group leader has shared to your group. Fill in the "Screen Name" with your real name. It's important to use your real name as this is how other participants will be able to identify you :-)
