CONNECT GROUPS
Share Your Christian Journey With Friends Connect groups might be best described as the heartbeat of our Church. Its wonderful to see people forming strong, lasting friendships joined together in love and vision. We can attend Church for years and never really get to know others (or let others know us) so we have developed a wide range of groups to meet that need. This Church is committed to the establishment of small groups where people can share and have the opportunity to be ministered to. Connect groups are a model of the New Testament Church where people met in small groups in houses as well as a large body on Sundays. The purpose of small groups is to provide an environment where people can carry out the Biblical directive to 'love one another'. It was in the house churches of the New Testament that most of the ministry of caring, sharing and loving took place and today it is in these small groups where people are able to do this work of ministry to which God has called us all. As a Church we actively encourage all of our congregation to be involved in a small group where they can really become an active part of the body ministering to others and being ministered to. We look forward to seeing you there.
