Join Chad Remley on Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. for a men’s group centered on Stand Firm & Act Like Men by Joby Martin. Through biblical teaching, honest conversation, encouragement, and accountability, men build meaningful relationships and challenge one another to grow spiritually and become the men God has called them to be. This group is designed so you can join at any time and attend whenever your schedule allows. Consistent participation will provide the greatest benefit, but you are always welcome—even if you missed the beginning, have missed several weeks, or can only attend occasionally. Come when you can and jump into the conversation.

Join us for a welcoming community of women encouraging one another, growing in God’s Word, and walking through life together. You can join at any time and attend whenever your schedule allows.

Come when you can and jump right in.

The Kingdom Worker Team includes everyone who serves and partners in ministry at Connection. Whether you are ready to use your gifts or simply interested in exploring where you could serve, we would love to help you find your place and get connected. Visit the HUB for more information and let us know you’re interested in joining the team.

Re-Group is our twice-a-year opportunity to help you find meaningful community at Connection. Each February and August, available groups are posted online so you can find one that fits your stage of life, schedule, and location. Whether you’re joining a group for the first time or ready to reconnect, Re-Group is the best time to take your next step. Go to the HUB for group openings, important dates, and more information.

Interested in helping people build meaningful relationships, grow in God’s Word, and follow Jesus together? Group Leader Sign-Up is the place to begin. Signing up lets us know you are interested in exploring group leadership; it does not commit you to leading a group or automatically place you in a leadership role. Someone from the Groups Ministry will follow up with you to answer your questions, discuss next steps, and help you determine what leading a group at Connection could look like. Go to the HUB for more information and to sign up.

Shaped for Kingdom Work is designed to help you discover how God has uniquely prepared you to serve and make a difference. Through the S.H.A.P.E. framework—Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences—you’ll explore how each part of your life can be used for meaningful ministry and Kingdom work. The class meets on the third Sunday of every month immediately following the worship service in the room directly behind the Worship Center. Register today to discover your S.H.A.P.E. and take your next step in serving.

Whether you're new to Connection or have been visiting for a while, this is a great chance to meet our pastors, hear the heart behind our church, and learn more about who we are and how to get connected.  And yes—there’s popcorn! We’d love to see you there.
