Age 21 - 101
DC3 members have accumulated a lot of experience in life. Whatever our age or story, we can bear witness to the transforming love of God. In every situation He walks with us and calls us forward. We want all our adults to keep moving on with Him.
Small Groups
These meet every week. They are the main way that we build deep relationships, pastoral care and real community. The guiding principle is 'Prayer, Care and Share', but there is considerable freedom for groups to develop in their own way. We specifically encourage groups to connect with and serve our community in whatever way they feel.
Prayer
We believe that God works through prayer and that everything we do is determined by our relationship with God. Therefore prayer is essential to all we do in the church. We need the guidance, blessing and power of God if we are to do the right things at the right time. With this in mind, we...
-
Set aside at least two weeks every year to fast and pray for our towns, church leadership, children and youth, and to ask for healing and direction
-
Pray every week in the Diss centre: Sunday (9.30 - 10am), Wednesday (6.45 - 7.45am)
We are continually developing new initiatives to help us pray. For example, we have prayer Lighthouses (an hour of prayer, on an area of ministry or concern) and 24-1 prayer (which is 24 hours of continuous prayer).
Worship
We come together one Friday evening every other month for 'Engage' at the Diss Centre. This is an extended time of opening up to the presence and leadership of the Holy Spirit, through worship, prayer and prophecy.
Bible Study
This is vital! We constantly encourage people to take their understanding of the Bible to another level. We also distribute 'Word For Today' Bible notes, which offer daily segments of Scripture, followed by a comment and a prayer.
Service
We strongly believe that God has given gifts to everyone - gifts that can strengthen the church and help bring the world into sync with God's perfect purposes. There are lots of things already going on and we encourage people to contribute in this way, or develop new ideas.
