CONNECT GROUP TEAMS
Our connect groupS are for each and every ONE. We understand that in a large church it is easy to feel like ONE person lost in a crowd. Connect Groups will help you connect with fellow believers, learn the Word of God, and grow in your relationship with Christ in a small group setting.
The mission of these groups is rooted in the Word of God in Acts 2:46, where we read about believers who came together to fellowship and grow in their relationships with Christ. Our Connect group leaders provide a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for you to ask questions, establish relationships, and LEARN ABOUT JESUS IN A COMFORTABLE HOME SETTING.
IF YOU RESONATE TO ONE OF THE CONNECT GROUPS OR FIND A GROUP THAT IS CLOSE TO YOU. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT THE CONNECT GROUP LEADER VIA THE MOBILE LISTED UNDER EACH NAME BELOW

CRAIG & SAM
Craig always wondered if God and heaven were real and grew up with a fear of dying. Craig was into gambling and the party life, which led to frustration and anger. Twenty-six years ago, he was invited to a church, and Jesus became so real in his life. From a young age, Sam grew up with a lot of fear and unwittingly rejected God, drinking and partying to quiet the mental mess. A decade later, a drug overdose was Sam's shocking reality and wake-up call. Sam had a God moment in her recovery; God touched her life and became personal to her. God brought clarity and peace even in the chaos.
