As a church grows, it can be harder to have that sense of belonging. We believe being part of a smaller group (a connect group) offers a place to build closer relationships, have that sense of belonging and where you can ‘do life together’. Our heart would be that everyone is part of a connect group.
Just as we are all unique, our connect groups are too, with some core values:
a place that offers relationship and belonging
a place where everyone is moving on with Jesus (being transformed)
a place that encourages and builds us up through God’s Word
a place to pray together
a place of life and fun, and occasionally with food too!
