DISCIPLESHIP OCCURS IN LIFE ON LIFE SITUATIONS.
Through learning, eating, celebrating, and grieving together scripture is brought to life and place sharing occurs. In shared spaces we encounter the living Christ in our relationships. Connect groups are designed to cultivate Christ-centered friendships that encourage, challenge, and focus our lives towards a growing relationship with Jesus.
SMALLER GROUPS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE.
The power of a connect group is not the content provided but the relationships that develop. The conversational style of connect groups facilitates a space for vulnerability to occur, and intimacy and accountability to flow. Questions and answers in a safe space allows for personal discovery and gospel transformation to follow. In a smaller setting we are transformed both individually and as a whole.
CONNECT GROUPS TAKE US OUTSIDE OF OUR CHURCH WALLS AND INTO THE COMMUNITY.
The atmosphere of a connect group is a great entry point for a visitor or person unfamiliar with church. Meeting in a home and with fewer people is more comfortable than a large group setting with unfamiliar rituals and routines. The faith avenue is the connecting point between the church and your neighborhood.
