CONNECT
Connect Groups are one of the main ways we provide for adults to get into a context of relational discipleship. We are able to “teach and admonish one another” as the scriptures instruct, when we join together for study, prayer, and support.
Groups meet for three 8-10 week sessions from mid-September through early May, taking a break during the summer months.
Why should you join?
Build Meaningful Friendships. Dive Deep Into the Bible. Experience Prayer and Encouragement.
