connect groups
what are connect groups?
Connect Groups are intentionally designed to cultivate spiritual community through regular times of relational connection, engagement with God’s Word, and prayer together. These are the major components of most Connect Groups, but the context in which they happen can vary as leaders create and shape their own unique gatherings. Ultimately, Connect Groups provide a place for people to find freedom in Christ and build community with each other.
upcoming season
summer season runs from june 1 - july 26. While some groups are already available for registration, all open groups will BE listed by may 18.
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!

Dylan | Men's Running
About This Connect Group
What - Morning Running Group
Who - Men
When - Wednesdays at 6:15 AM, starting first week of June
Where - Sertoma Park
Whether you're an avid runner, casual jogger, or can rock a walk, this group is for you—all fitness levels are welcome! The plan each week is to meet up at 6:15 AM, take about 10 minutes to get loose and pray, and then start out on a run together. On average we'll aim for the run to be around 30 minutes, but you're always welcome to go longer or shorter and go at whatever pace is best for you!

Aaron and Gary | Bible Study

When: Starting first week in February, Tuesdays at 6:30 PM
Where: Evangel Auditorium, Garrison
There are seeds all throughout the Bible. God is a master builder, and one of His primary building blocks is the seed. Growth doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes time and careful attention—this is the power and principle of the seed.
Seeds provides you with practical concepts, illustrations, context, bible verses, and questions. The study guide also includes perforated memory cards that you can tear out and take with you through the week so you can learn God’s Word in a practical way.
