Tonsley Social WhatsApp Groups

We value connecting and building friendships, not just with those who are part of our church, but also those who are already a regular part of our lives: our friends, our colleagues, our neighbours. A great way to develop friendships is through spending regular time together pursuing a common interest. 


Each group, listed below, is focussed on a different social activity, sport, or interest. Please feel welcome to join any group(s) for which you share an interest. For those not on WhatsApp, but who are keen to join, please register interest in an activity by contacting us here.


It is expected that group members will be from all walks of life; from our church community and not. Please invite your friends, colleagues, and neighbours who share these interests as a way of strengthening your friendship.

Current Groups you can join: 

Below are the groups currently available to join. Each group will have an admin (or two) - they will try and keep things moving along, but it's up to the group as a whole to organise things.


Once you've joined, update your WhatsApp profile to include your name, so that the group knows who you are.
