Groups & Events

Church Events

Jesmond Parish Church is a 7 day a week church with a vibrant programme of events that cater for all.

EQUIP

Becoming a Christian begins a lifetime of learning about God. We have been created to know God and enjoy God and we often desire this, yet our busy lives means it often becomes squeezed out. Many people in the survey of 2023 expressed the desire to invest time in learning about our faith beyond Sundays and Small groups. Since then a working group…

Home Groups

Home Groups are small groups, which meet on alternate Wednesday evenings for Bible study, prayer and fellowship (there are Thursday evening and daytime groups as well). It is important to be part of a smaller fellowship group where we can get to know people, apply the Bible together and pray for and support one another in our Christian witness.

Pathway

Pathway is a new home group aimed at those who have just moved to JPC. It's especially helpful for those who are new to Christianity and studying the Bible, but it's open to anyone. We meet each week on a Tuesday.

Prayer

Prayer is an essential part of our church family life with many opportunities to meet corporately, in small groups and individually.

Pastoral Care

At JPC, we have a gospel-based approach to Christian growth, and a pastoral care structure through which Christians are discipled, cared for and helped to live out the church's vision of godly living, church growth and changing Britain. Through small fellowship groups, Celebrate Recovery, individual pastoral support, and prayer, we care for one…

Celebrate Recovery

Our Celebrate Recovery ministry provides a safe place for people to find support in the challenges and hurts of life, and to look to God for healing and change.
The path to recovery is set out in eight biblical principles. We begin a new cycle of Celebrate Recovery on Monday 6th January in church. Celebrate Recovery General Meeting…

World Mission

Music

The Bible is full of examples of God's people being a singing people. The first song written down in the Bible is in Exodus 15. God has miraculously saved his people and their natural response is to burst into song. But there are loads more songs in the Old Testament. Psalms is a collection of 150 songs. We are told King Solomon wrote 1005 songs (1…

Men

“I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarrelling.” (1 Timothy 2:8). What does God want for men?

Women

We have various mid week Bible study groups for women meeting in homes and two groups with pre-school creches meeting at church. If you'd like to know more or are interested in joining one of the groups, please email Liz. We'd love to hear from you!
