Connect Groups
Doing life together.

Sundays are great — but church wasn't designed to happen in one room, one day a week. Connect Groups are how we love each other through the week, in homes and around tables.

What they are

A group for every age & stage.

We run a number of Connect Groups through the week — for different ages, different stages of life, and different rhythms. Some meet on weeknights, some during the day. Some are for couples, some for singles, some for parents, some for young adults, some just for the laughs.

All of them have one thing in common: a small group of people who pray together, encourage each other, work through the Word, and become real friends.

Why we do them

Some things only happen in small rooms.

A church can be vibrant on a Sunday and still feel lonely on a Tuesday. Connect Groups close that gap.

01

Real friendship

A handful of people who actually know your name, your story, what you're walking through this week — and who'll show up when it matters.

02

Honest conversation

Space to ask the questions you'd never raise in a room of two hundred — about faith, family, work, doubt, or whatever's on your mind.

03

Prayer that knows you

Generic prayers are fine. Prayers from people who actually know your situation are better. Connect Groups are where that happens.

04

Growing in the Word

We work through Scripture together — not as a lecture, but as a conversation. You bring your Bible and your questions, we'll bring snacks.

Before you join

Honest questions, honest answers.

A typical group meets in someone's home, shares food or a drink, catches up on the week, opens the Bible together, and prays for each other. There's no script — it's a conversation, not a lecture. Groups usually run for an hour and a half to two hours.
Not at all. Connect Groups are some of the best places to ask honest questions about faith — whether you're brand new, exploring, or have been walking with Jesus for years. Everyone's at a different point, and groups are designed to make space for all of it.
Most groups meet weekly or fortnightly during school terms, for around 90 minutes to two hours per gathering. Some take a break over Christmas and the summer holidays. The host will let you know the rhythm when you join — and there's never any pressure to make every single one.
Yes. We run groups for couples, singles, young adults, parents, and people at different life stages. Some meet weeknights, some during the day. When you reach out, we'll ask a few questions to help match you with a group that fits where you're at.
Totally fine — no awkwardness, no commitment. Connect Groups work best when the chemistry's right, so if the first one isn't your fit, just let us know and we'll suggest another. Better to find the right group than to stay in the wrong one.

Want to give one a go?

Drop us a line and we'll match you with a group that suits where you're at — your age, your stage, your weekly rhythm. No pressure, no commitment, just an introduction.
