JOIN A COMMUNITY

At Alive Church, we believe faith is meant to be lived out together. Our church communities are a place where you can grow spiritually, build meaningful relationships, and discover your purpose—no matter where you are on your faith journey.

Whether you’re new to church, returning after time away, or looking for a Christ-centered community, Alive Church is a place to belong, be cared for, and follow Jesus together.

We have communities located across and beyond Newcastle and Gateshead, which you can scroll through below! If you’re interested in joining a community, fill in the form below, and Sarah, our communities lead, will be in touch with you!
