They’re always there to pray with you, cheer you on, and lend a hand when you need it most - like when you have a new bundle of joy or are feeling under the weather.
We have groups for everyone!

You might have already stumbled upon a Connect Group gathering without even realizing it! Our Connect Groups look like friends having lunch, playing basketball, or engaging in shared interests. But it's not just about the activities; it's about the people you share life with. In a Connect Group, you can look forward to making genuine connections, having encouraging conversations, and supporting one another through prayer!
-
Our Connect Groups come together during three semesters throughout the year – winter/spring, summer, and fall. Most groups meet once a week during the semester, but we understand that life can get busy. Even if you can't make it to every meeting, joining a group still brings incredible value by adding a splash of community to your rhythm of life!
-
Groups happen all over the Rogue Valley. In homes, coffee shops, outdoors and at the church!
-
Most Connect Groups operate for a semester, allowing new members to easily join and explore different groups. While some groups choose to continue for consecutive semesters as relationships deepen, we always welcome new members!
-
Childcare varies from group to group! Our group directory provides details on whether childcare is available for your specific group.

Not every group will instantly feel like a perfect fit, and that's okay! We encourage you to explore different groups that catch your interest, reach out to friendly leaders, and try a couple of different groups before finding the one that resonates with you. The simple strategy to finding success in Connect Groups is to not give up! We wholeheartedly believe there's a group that's just right for you!
