Part of Reach - one church in many places
Intro to Reach Communities
Our primary place of belonging within Reach Derby is in Reach Communities.
These are extended family size groups of people who are on mission together to a particular geographical area or network of people within the city.
Within such communities we do life together, grow in relationship with God, and reach out to share the good news of a life of transformation with Jesus.
Each community will have its own particular rhythm of activities as it will be shaped around it’s missional focus.

Family+
Our community is a place where we can share life together, be open and honest with one another and provide prayer and practical support for each other as we go about our day to day lives. We have an emphasis on having fun together and provide a safe and open space for new people to come along and experience the love of Jesus in practical ways.
