Connect Groups
The beating heart of our church community
Connect Groups are smaller groups of people from the church who meet together regularly in an informal environment – usually in homes, but potentially anywhere! These groups provide great teaching & discussion, as well as a chance to connect more personally with each other.
Connect Group Leaders are also available to pray, visit, counsel and support their members in any way needed. Through relationships built within the group, members also look out for each other (Christian care) and ensure each part of the group is cared for.
Connect Groups for Adults & Youth meet in the evening (Tues, Wed & Thurs), plus a Ladies’ day-time group. All groups meet weekly except during School Holiday breaks.
