CONNECT GROUPS
Connect groups are Christians who get together for bible study, and work together to
connect other people to Jesus. Connect group members get to know each other on
a more personal basis often becoming wonderful friends for life.
As a church increases in size, it’s important that every person has an opportunity to
know and be known by others.
It would be terrible if our church was known as uncaring or impersonal. Connect groups
work to connect people to other like-minded people and to God Himself.
Why should I get involved?
The first reason is you will grow in knowledge and understanding of God’s word. This
is vital for every christian, man or woman, younger or older. God’s word should become,
over time, a familiar source of truth, encouragement and direction. Our Connect group
leaders will show you how to be better connected to God.
The second reason is that being with like-minded people is fun and very rewarding.
People who share the same interests, face the same battles, believe the same things
and do the same things are rare in the world...except for churches. We call it fellowship.
The final reason to insert yourself into a connect group is that the group members work together to
see people become Christians and for new Christians to become solid in their faith. Each
connect group will reach out (outreach) to non-Christians on a continual basis, giving you
an opportunity to do something for Jesus.
How do I get connected?
That’s the easy part...and you can start right away! All you have to do is go along.
Perhaps a friend introduced you to Jesus. The best connect group for you would most
likely be the same as your friend.
Or perhaps you have made a friend in church since you starting coming along, just ask
your friend which connect group they attend and slot into that one. Ask what is going
on next and you are set.
Or it could be that travel and time is an issue for you, so choosing the closest group
might be the best option for you. We have them located in three locations across
Fairfield so you should have no problems.
We presently have three connect groups operating in the Fairfield area. (The vision is for dozens).
