3six5 dispersed church
3six5 is a small missional group in Chessington. Born from a desire to see a balance between 'dispersed' and 'gathered' mode retored to church life, here's a bit of their story;

In 3six5 we have raised the importance of the ‘dispersed’ mode and kept our ‘gathered’ mode to a minimum.

This has freed us to spend more time with family and friends, especially with those who don’t yet know Jesus. We encourage and support each other to live out our Christian lives in our various communities and, as far as possible, to play an active part in them. To this end we tend not to put on events, but instead, if events are happening in the community we join in with them. When we first began we discovered that years of being active and busy in our traditional church settings had deskilled us and we had to learn afresh how to ‘behave’ and what to do in what we used to know as the secular society. Now we are much more comfortable and most of us have seen old friendships deepen and new ones begin. It has been very exciting, but we are aware that we have committed ourselves to a long-term missional existence in our communities.
