There are lots of soul groups for you to choose from.  Here's a quick introduction to each group and its leaders.  You can find out how to join a soul group by clicking on the link to the left or if you wish to join straight away select join a soul group.

 

 John Arundel John Arundel - Sidcup (Evening)

John is an absolute legend at New Gen. An expert in hospitality, you can guarantee that there will always be something happening in his home, (often without him even being there).  He throws the best fireworks party around, loves cycling and given the choice would spend most of his days in a cafe with great coffee and wireless internet! His soul group is a lively place with a great atmosphere where you will feel right at home.

 

 Brian Marriott   Val MarriottBrian and Val - Sidcup (Evening)

Brian and Val are great hosts and Val’s cooking is legendary. Val works in a busy teaching job and as a relate counsellor. Brian loves football, (he’s a qualified referee), quizzes and together they are a couple who have pioneered with us since the early days of New Generation Church.
 
   

 Chris Lowth   Jane Lowth  Chris and Jane - Sidcup (Evening)
Chris and Jane have served at New Gen in almost every way you can think of. They are open home kind of people and have a gift for hospitality. Jane is a potter, (she can make anything), and Chris is a humble computer genius. They are natural born encouragers!

 

 David Willetts Amy Willetts  Dave and Amy - Hither Green (Evening)
Dave and Amy both work in the media. Dave is a journalist and Amy is a TV producer, (she’s even worked with Noel Edmonds)! Their soul group is a reflection of their own fun loving attitude and you’ll be sure to have a great time if you join them.

 

 Debbie Shearing  Paula Weston  Debbie and Paula - Sidcup (Evening)
Debbie and Paula are great servants at New Gen. Paula runs our Sparkles Zone aimed at parents and pre-school kids and is married to Paul who leads the church. Debbie helps lead the church and has more energy than is normal for 1 person—it’s no surprise she has run the odd marathon!

 

 Gordon Raggett   Joy Raggett  Gordon and Joy - Barnhurst (Evening)
Gordon and Joy are great cooks with a passion for hospitality. Gordon is the director of a highly respected borough wide Christian schools project and Joy helps to run local parenting courses. They recently became grandparents and are absolutely loving it.

 

 Marion Welch2  Marion - Bexleyheath (Daytime)
Marion is a retired teacher but has more energy than most of us here at New Gen. If you hang around with her you will definitely learn a thing or two about following Jesus. Marion leads one of our daytime Soul Groups for those who can’t make a Wednesday evening.

 

Phil Leighton Elizabeth Leighton    Phil and Elizabeth - Sidcup (Evening)

Phil and Elizabeth have been with New Gen from the start of the adventure.  Phil has a passion for India which he visits regularly.  Of course, that means he cooks a mean curry although when it comes to cooking Elizabeth is really a force to be reckoned with.  Phil and Elizabeth have a gift of encouragement and if you join their soul group you are sure to be looked after.

 

Steve Gregson  Sarah GregsonSteve and Sarah - Sidcup (Evening)

Steve and Sarah are expert encouragers and as such make great soul leaders. Steve’s a Dr and Sarah is a midwife so caring is what they do for a day job. Steve loves mountains and is often sneaking off to add another summit to his collection. Sarah has a passion for India and in particular a slum in delhi which we have supported for many years as a church.

 

Darren Ellsmore Ali Ellsmore  Darren and Ali - Sidcup (Evening)

Darren and Ali are creative geniuses - Ali is a writer and Darren has the quickest fingers in New Gen, (he plays classical guitar).  Goodness knows what kind of creative prodigy their baby girl will grow into.  Before moving to Sidcup they lived in New York and then Manchester and we're excited to have them as part of the team here at New Gen!

 

 Paula Weston Liz Johnston Paula & Liz - Sidcup (Daytime)

Paula and Liz not only lead sparkles (our parent and toddler zone in the church), they also lead a couple of soul groups in the daytime - one on Mondays and one designed for those who have young children on Wednesdays.  Paula is a qualified fashion stylist and Liz is an A and E nurse, so if you want to look and feel good one of their soul groups is the place to be.
