Connection Groups
We believe that strength comes from connections; both to each other and to God. In I Corinthians 12:12, the Bible says "The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ."
To foster this belief we want to offer as many connection points as possible. Here are the available groups:
