What is a Connect Group?

Explore Connect

A Connect Group is a small group who meet regularly to explore faith and Godly responses to life issues, growing in the things of God together as we go.

Anyone can host one using these materials and contact us for support and guidance. Online or in-person, our heart is that they offer a relaxed space for faith, friendship and fun.

We hope the resources and discussion points encourage, inspire, and invigorate you on your walk with God.

It might be the conversation follows the discussion as laid out or heads in a different direction, both are wonderful, and we hope the outline we offer here is flexible and supportive to engage with the Bible and our faith in fresh and vibrant ways as we make our way in the world as 21st century disciples exploring the wonders of life with Jesus!

What is involved?

Each week there are a series of bible readings attached to the overall theme paired with questions and prompts to help get the conversation going, centered around the readings. The weeks begin with an introduction and a ‘seed to sow’ conversation starter, these are open-ended prompts to inspire creative responses to the themes. Perhaps they will inspire you to write a song or a poem, or to paint, draw, move or explore! There is also a short video attahced to each week to help dive into the ideas and introduce you to the weekly theme you will be exploring. We imagine the material for each week would work for 90-minute sessions but feel free to adapt to your group!
