Connect Groups
What
Connect Group is a gathering of people from the church that get together fortnightly to share life and support one another. It is a place to belong, to ask questions, to wrestle with your faith, to see more clearly how God’s Word applies to your life, to pray, to be comforted, encouraged and challenged, all within a community of people who care for you, love you and want God’s best for you.
Why
Life is hard. It was never meant to be lived in isolation. Community is a gift of God intended to help us see and experience the good news of Jesus in real and tangible ways. It is within relationship together that we exist as true family in a time when the concept of a loving and caring family can seem so alien to so many. It is a place where we can encourage and challenge one another in our journey to know, love and obey Jesus in deeper and more personal ways. It is a place where the teaching from the Bible can take root and become more clearly visible and applicable in our lives. It is a place where we learn to be vulnerable with one another and discover that none of us have got it sorted, but that together with Jesus we can become more and more the people God desires and has created us to be. It is a place where we talk together, laugh together, struggle together, grow together, pray together and serve together as we are transformed by the grace of God in our lives.
Who
Connect Group is an opportunity for anyone who wants to build relationships within the church and benefit form the love, care, support, encouragement, and discipleship that community brings.
