Connect groups are the way we gather during the week in smaller numbers. Each connect group will look different, but all have the common primary purpose of becoming like Jesus together.
In connect groups we support each other, care for each other, learn from each other, in fact the word for “each other” or “one another” appears many times in the New Testament to describe how we should live in relationship: love each other; share with each other; pray for each other… none of these are possible without others. Community is important because it is where formation takes place.
Ryan Karayiannis is the connect pastor for all of our sites, and walks alongside our site specific connect coordinators. Connect coordinators help develop and equip the groups as well as finding the appropriate group for someone new.
Each of our sites have a connect group coordinator who will know which groups in your area have spaces. A member of the welcome team will be able to point you to them or you can contact them directly from your site connect group page.
