City life changes the way small groups work. Jess Ngo from Scots Presbyterian Church Sydney shares what she’s learned leading groups in the CBD — where people move in and out quickly, apartments are small, and the community is incredibly multicultural.

She talks about why they meet at the church building, how they keep studies short and sharp, and why raising up new leaders every year is so important.

Jess shares how they’ve adapted — meeting at the church building, keeping studies tight, and raising leaders every year — and why it matters to shape groups for your own context.

Jess is a pastoral assistant of Scots Presbyterian Church in the middle of the Sydney CBD.
