Specialised
Some of our MSCs have a special focus, shared interest or common need.
If you are interested in joining one of our MSCs it would be great to have you visit us, please send us an email by clicking on the relevant link. We would like to be able to welcome you personally to our MSC and make sure you have the most up-to-date information about the next meeting. Most of our Sunday morning MSCs meet on either two or three Sundays in the month. On fourth Sundays, all the MSC members gather together in the St Andrew’s Church Centre at one of the services. Most of our MSCs also have homegroups that meet at various times during the week. Here is a summary of what our MSCs are about, when and where they meet, and how to contact them.
