Community life

Community life at St Thomas Crookes is based around the three gatherings of church:

 

Cell - the small gathering,
Cluster -the mid sized gathering, usually comprising three to six cell groups, and
Celebration -the large Sunday Gathering of several Clusters.

 Transform is a cluster with a passion for social justice; we meet in community to transform each other’s lives; we then reach out to homeless people on the streets of Sheffield.  Reproductive Life is a cluster for young adults with young families.  A community that wants to get back to basics: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...Love your neighbour as yourself.'
