Growth Groups
At Providence City, Growth Groups are the place we can really get to know each other. They’re the place we can sharpen one another, encourage one other and push ourselves and one another forward in our discipleship of Jesus.
Many of our groups are centrally located near where we meet for church, but we also have groups spread around the city — our hope is to eventually have a group that’s not too far away for everyone who lives within 20 minutes of church.
If you’re new to Providence City, the first step to getting connected is to come to ProvBelong! It’s the perfect place to meet the staff team, and get to know each other so we can work out which group would be the best fit for you.
If you’re a long-time member of Providence City and would like to join a group (or would like to jump back into a group after a break), please get in touch with us, and we’ll see what we can do!
Time: Thursday mornings during school term, 9:30-11:30am
Location: Tomasi room, TSH. 36 Dodd Street, Wembley
The early years of parenting can be full of joy, exhaustion, change and everything in between.
Thursday Morning Women was created to provide a community where mothers of young children (and soon-to-be mothers!) can keep growing as disciples of Jesus, and be equipped to disciple their own children.
We meet all together on Thursday mornings to study God’s word, pray, sing, share, and encourage one another through ever-changing seasons of motherhood. Plus, we have a crèche for children aged 1-5, full of gospel stories, fun, and friends. Our hope is that, in the midst of the busyness of caring for little ones, mothers can be encouraged to know and love God, grow in their faith, and walk alongside others who are doing the same.
We’d love to have you join us! Whether you’re new to Bible study or have been following Jesus for years, you’re welcome here.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Thursday Morning Women
What should I expect?
- Arrive from 9:30am for a cuppa and a chat.
- Bible study groups – you’ll be in a group with a leader. We read the Bible together, discuss it and pray for each other. If you haven’t been in a Bible study group before, you’re welcome to ask questions or just listen.
- Creche provided – for children aged 1-5 years old. All creche helpers have their Working with Children’s Check.
Can I feed my baby?
A: Yes! Whatever way you feed your baby is fine, and there are changing facilities there.
I don’t have children/my children are school-aged or grown up, can I still join?
Yes! We’d love you to be part of our community.
I can’t get there by 9:30 because of school drop off/my baby naps/etc. Can I still come?
Yes! Just come when you can. The earlier the better, but we know things are often out of our control.
I don’t think my 2 year old will settle into creche. Can I still come?
Yes! The crèche helpers will help support your child if you want to have a go, but otherwise you can just keep your child with you in the group. There’ll be some quiet toys you can use to occupy them so you can still participate in the study.
I already go to an evening Growth group at Prov, but would like to be in this community too. Can I do both?
Yes! We do different material to the evening Growth groups for those who want to be part of both.
