Connect Groups are a place where you can grow in meaningful friendships with other believers and grow in your faith so that you can become fully known, loved, and take next steps as a disciple of Jesus. We do this by gathering in a home for a time of fellowship, digging into the truth of the scriptures, and having a time to receive prayer and encouragement.

What to expect at connect groups

Groups meet at various times throughout the week—some weekly and others bi-weekly—so you can find a rhythm that works for you. Browse the available groups and find the one that’s right for you!

Meaningful Community

Connect Groups are a place to build genuine friendships with other believers in a smaller, more personal setting. These relationships are meant to reflect the love of Christ—where people are encouraged, cared for, and reminded that they are not meant to walk through life or faith alone. In this space, people can experience what it means to be fully known and deeply loved within the family of God.

growing as disciples

Connect Groups are also designed to help you grow in your faith and take meaningful next steps as a disciple of Jesus. Each gathering includes time spent digging into the truth of Scripture, discussing how it applies to everyday life, and seeking God together.

and care

Groups also make space for prayer and encouragement, allowing people to minister to one another and rely on the Holy Spirit to work in their lives. Through studying the Bible, praying together, and supporting one another, Connect Groups help people continue growing in their relationship with Jesus.
