Growing with God
Welcome to Growing with God – a gentle invitation to step away from the noise, draw closer to the One who loves you, and discover the rhythm of rest and growth.
This is not a retreat or a rigid course. It’s a spacious practice – a series of taster sessions, gatherings, and reflections that invite you to slow down, listen deeply, and explore what it means to live a life of presence, purpose and holy imagination.

The Heart of It
We’re not here to tick boxes or chase outcomes. We’re here to make room – for curiosity, for creativity, for God’s quiet voice.
We believe that rest is not a luxury, but a foundation. It’s the posture of being with God before doing for Him. Growing with God begins in this place of rest, and moves outward – to listening, to loving, to serving.
The Three Movements
Over time, we gently weave together three movements:
SPACE – Clearing away the noise and clutter to create room for God’s presence.
EXPLORE – Wondering what’s possible, imagining where God might lead next.
PRACTICE – Letting this insight shape what the next right thing is for us.
The Invitation
If you’re hungry for a slower, more spacious faith – if you want to discern the next faithful step without pressure or the need for performance – you’re welcome here. Whether you join a single taster session or walk with us longer, this is a place to rest, to breathe, to grow.
The Offering
Online Tasters – Small group online gatherings (max 15 people), designed to introduce the heart of Growing with God and spark conversation.
In-Person Gatherings – Day or weekend retreats for deeper exploration and community connection.
Growing with God Teams – Tailored experiences for your group or organisation, with sessions adapted to your needs.
Let’s Dream Together
I’d love to explore how Growing with God could serve you or your community. Let’s chat about what’s possible – and what’s needed – to help you create space for the Spirit’s gentle work.
Downloadable Documents
Below, you’ll find documents you can download directly – including an overview poster and additional information sheets to give you a fuller sense of what Growing with God offers.
Need a more personal space?
Sometimes, it helps to slow down one-to-one.
The Listening Space is a gentle, unhurried hour of reflection – a chance to pause, breathe, and explore whatever’s stirring in your own journey. It’s inspired by the same rhythm as Growing with God, but held just for you.
Sessions are available on weekdays and cost £25. If you’d like to know more or book a time, you can do that here:
