connect groups
what are connect groups?
At their core, Connect Groups are less about what you do and more about who you do them with. We all need each other, and groups provide a place for people to find freedom in Christ and build community. Whether you’re new to groups, leading for the first time, or a seasoned leader, we have a group for you!
If you are unsure what Connect Group to join, try an Alpha Connect Group.
current season
spring season runs from February 4 - May 5, 2024. groups with openings are available for registration now!
Connect Groups are organized around a seasonal schedule consisting of three trimesters. The fall and spring trimesters are both 13 weeks, and the summer trimester is slightly abbreviated at 8 weeks.
lead a connect group
You don’t have to have it all together to lead a Connect Group–you just need to be willing to let God use you. If you are interested in leading a Connect Group, we'd love to talk about it with you!
