A knock at the door<\/span><\/h3>\n

The roots of this group start back even before Rise:61 was founded when a young person knocked on a local single mother\u2019s home asking how to become a Christian. From this a group was formed where they shared food and explored faith, led by a single mum who gave generously from the little she had. This first young person is now a trustee of Rise:61 investing in the next generation.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Life group today retains that same heart, having a fun, family like atmosphere. We meet weekly to share food, play games and create a safe place to explore faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expanding horizons<\/span><\/h3>\n

We run termly life group trips and an annual residential giving young people new experiences and creating positive memories.<\/p>\n

The group gives back to their community in various ways too, including\u00a0 painting community murals, helping at a foodbank and running community events.<\/p>\n
