Connect Evenings

The larger celebrations on Sundays are exciting, faith-building times. But we also firmly believe that to truly get to know people and grow together as community, it has to be done a lot smaller. That is why we encourage all committed members of the church to attend the connect groups, where genuine relationships can be made and no-one gets lost in the crowd.

Over the last few years, we have enjoyed a number of these special connecting evenings. Some have been focused on 'International guests', others have been for young people or married couples. Some times the whole of the church family comes together. While there may be a spiritual focus, the event is social, an opportunity to join with other members of the church over a meal and a drink in an informal setting to develop  friendships.

We believe that the Christian life is a journey and one that has to be travelled with others. There is so much we can learn from each other. Getting together allow people the opportunity to take down their masks and be real, as well as having lots of fun too. We also find that some people who are not used to church services may be more comfortable entering the social environment of a connect evening at first, rather than the religious context of a church service.
