Connect Groups
Connect Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us for connection with others and through those connections, we experience the full life He intends for us. We believe that as we can get real with people in safe environments, God uses those relationships to bring freedom in our life. (James 5:16) Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Connect Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
Our Connect Groups follow a semester schedule: Two twelve week semesters in spring & fall, as well as 1 shorter semester in summer. Groups meet weekly during those times.
Our Spring Semester has launched and groups are meeting weekly until the week of May 2nd – 8th! Check out our directory below. You can filter based on your preferences and select the group that best fits you!
