Whether meeting on campus or in the community, Connect Groups are where Gospel Community comes to life! These groups exist for people to come as they are—with their hurts and scars—and find fellowship with other believers rooted in biblical truth. We believe spiritual growth happens best in smaller, relational environments where people can be known and cared for. As a church committed to multiplication, our hope is that as groups grow, leaders are raised up and new groups are launched as we reach our Neighbors to the Nations.
