What is a Connect Group

Connect Groups are small groups of roughly 8-12 people who meet throughout the week and across our network to grow together as disciples of Jesus.

While God’s word and prayer lie at the heart of our groups, they aren’t simply Bible Study groups, where people grow in their biblical knowledge. Rather they are groups where disciples grow together in their love for Jesus (UP), their love for each other (IN), and their love for the lost (OUT).

Why join a Connect Group?

Firstly, it’s good for our communities to have groups of disciples in the neighbourhoods where we live, seeking to share the love of Jesus with those who don’t know him.

Secondly, it’s good for our church to have groups of our people across our sites and congregations sharing their lives together and looking out for each other beyond our Sunday services.

Thirdly, it’s good for you to have a small group of brothers and sisters in Christ personally encouraging you to keep living for Jesus, reminding you of the truth of God’s word, caring for you, and praying for your life.

We know that it’s hard to open up and share our lives with others. But it’s worth the effort. God didn’t create us to do life alone. He made us to connect with each other and live life well together in Jesus.
