One of the best ways for you to get involved in the church family is through joining a Connect Group.

Connect groups are the hub of church activity outside of our Sunday services, connecting people together in informal smaller groups where friendships are made and support can be found. Groups meet for Bible study, prayer, fellowship, socials and to serve.

All our connect groups run at varying times throughout the week. Most meet in homes but it can be any place where it is convenient for people to get together. Groups meet for about 90 minutes where there is opportunity to hang out together and connect to God and to each other in a real and relevant way.

HOW CAN I JOIN ONE?

Speak to one of our Connect leaders at church or email us and we will help you find a Connect Group that suits you.
