About Us
Welcome to St. Thomas' Church in Aldridge!We are a friendly, informal and contemporary church. We aim to be continually Spirit-filled, with worship, prayer and bible-based teaching being essential elements of church life.
Discipleship & EvangelismWe have a very well-supported discipleship programme which includes Lifegroups and regularly offers courses such as the 'Freedom in Christ' Course and 'Disciple'. People really benefit from being in a Lifegroup - it helps us to grow in our faith through Bible study, worship and prayer and also provides members with a great social and support system, when people are in need of any help, for example during times of illness or hardship.
We offer two enquirers courses, namely 'Alpha' and 'Good News For You' (GNFY), for anyone looking to find out more about a personal relationship with Jesus. GNFY can be carried out in your own home, whereby two or three committed Christians will come for several weeks to go through the faith in an easy step-by-step way.
Prayer
We have a dedicated Prayer Core Group and Ministry Team who are keen to help anyone seeking prayer. They are available both on Sundays and also during the week for individual prayer ministry either at home or here at church. We have a telephone Prayer Circle for anything urgent and also a Prayer Email system whereby requests are sent out once per week to a group of people who faithfully pray.
