Midweek
There's always lots going on at The Plant. As well as events organised by our individual churches, The Plant also runs various activities which serve the network as a whole. These include one-off and annual events as well as more regular groups. In addition to those listed below, we run all manner of other occasional courses and seminars on an ad hoc basis covering such things as evangelism training, church history, and theological issues. Keep an eye on the Calendar for details of upcoming seminars.
Homegroups
Most people who come to a Plant church are either part of a 'minigroup' - a small group of about two to six people or a 'homegroup' - a group of up to 15 people. The groups meet up weekly for Bible study, prayer, mutual support and encouragement.
Simply Christianity
For those interested in exploring the basics of the Christian faith we run regular enquirers' courses. This down-to-earth presentation of Jesus and his teaching works through Luke’s Gospel, one of the four Biblical biographies of Jesus Christ. For details about our next course, please us.
Cafe 3-16
This cafe is run for international students, and meets during term time on Wednesday afternoons at Barnes Wallis Building (north campus of Manchester University). It's a chance to meet other students from around the world, enjoy free tea, coffee and cake, and practise English. It is run by the Manchester University Christian Union students.

Teaching Workshop
This monthly workshop is for Plant members wanting to improve their Bible teaching skills. We discuss issues related to interpreting and teaching Scripture and take turns to have a go at giving a talk and receiving feedback. This is open to both men and women, whether experienced or inexperienced. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm (see the Calendar for our next meeting). Contact for more details.
