Connect Classes
Our Connect Classes meet Sunday mornings from 8:45–9:45, welcoming all ages and stages of faith. These small groups provide a space to build relationships, explore Scripture, and grow together in a supportive, encouraging environment. No matter your level of biblical knowledge, there’s a place for you to connect, ask questions, and deepen your walk with God.
Our children, students, and parents are studying Scripture together through The Gospel Project, following the same biblical storyline in age-appropriate ways. This gives families something meaningful to talk about beyond Sunday morning as everyone discovers together how the whole Bible points to Jesus.
