Free, faith-based programmes open to everyone in Surrey and the surrounding communities
The Clayton Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses offers a range of free community programmes designed to strengthen individuals, families, and the broader Surrey community. All programmes are open to anyone — no membership, no fees, and no prior religious knowledge required. Our goal is to share practical, Bible-based wisdom that genuinely improves quality of life.
The Public Bible Education Program is the cornerstone of everything the Clayton Congregation does. Open to anyone in the Surrey community, this programme offers systematic, in-depth study of the Bible in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment.
Each week, our congregation meetings include a public Bible talk — a 30-minute presentation on a topic drawn directly from the Scriptures, ranging from family relationships and emotional health to prophecy and the meaning of current world events. These talks are designed to be accessible to first-time visitors with no Biblical background whatsoever.
In addition to our group sessions, we offer personalized one-on-one and family Bible studies conducted by trained members of our congregation at a time and location that suits each student.
Strong families form the backbone of a healthy community, and the Clayton Congregation is deeply committed to equipping Surrey families with the practical tools they need to thrive. Our Family Bible Study Groups bring together parents and children to explore Biblical guidance on the issues that matter most to families today.
Topics covered include: building trust and open communication between parents and teenagers; setting healthy boundaries with technology; navigating peer pressure and social media; managing conflict with respect and empathy; and applying Biblical wisdom to the everyday stresses of family life in a multicultural urban setting like Surrey.
Groups typically meet in small settings of 4–8 families, allowing for meaningful discussion and genuine mutual support. A trained facilitator guides each session, ensuring the conversations remain grounded in Biblical principles while remaining relevant to participants' real-life experiences.
Young people in Surrey face unprecedented pressures — from social media to academic stress to questions of identity and purpose. The Clayton Congregation's youth programmes address these challenges head-on with Biblical wisdom that is practical, honest, and age-appropriate.
Our youth programming includes structured study groups for teenagers exploring life's biggest questions, skill-building sessions focused on public speaking and personal expression, and mentorship relationships pairing young people with experienced, caring adult members of the congregation.
We believe every young person deserves a moral compass and a community of support. Our youth programmes are designed not to impose beliefs, but to equip young people with the tools to think critically, make good decisions, and navigate the complexities of modern life with confidence and integrity.
Beyond our educational programmes, congregation members are active participants in the daily life of the Clayton neighbourhood.
Several times per year, congregation members organize and lead neighbourhood clean-up events in the Clayton area — collecting litter, maintaining public spaces, and contributing to the beauty of our shared community. These events are open to all Surrey residents who wish to join.
Our members regularly assist elderly, disabled, or isolated neighbours with practical tasks — grocery shopping, lawn maintenance, snow removal, moving, minor home repairs — simply because it is the right thing to do. This is not a formal programme but a daily expression of genuine love for neighbour.
Loneliness and social isolation among the elderly is a growing crisis in cities across Canada, including Surrey. Members of our congregation regularly visit isolated seniors — in their homes and in care facilities — to provide companionship, encouragement, and practical assistance.
Drawing on experience from international JW Disaster Relief operations, our congregation shares practical emergency preparedness information with our community — helping Surrey families plan for natural disasters, power outages, and other emergencies. This education is provided free of charge to all community members.
All programmes are free and open to the public. Contact us to learn more or to register your interest in any of our community activities.
