Connecting with God
Connecting with other people
Connecting with our kingdom purpose
What is a Connect Group?
Connect Groups are small mid-week groups that meet weekly either in homes or online.
They exist to equip us to fulfil the Greatest Commandment (Mark 12:28-29): Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength and Love your neighbour as yourself. In a vibrant faith, loving God and loving people goes hand in hand.
Connect Groups enable us to form deep connections with with other people through providing plenty of relational time, meals, Huddles, honest conversations, prayer and intercession.
They enable us to form deep connections with God through Bible studies where we really apply the Word to our lives (sometimes these are traditional studies and other times they are video courses), worship, giving and receiving prophetic words and prayer ministry.
They enable us to connect with our kingdom purpose through the encouragement of other believers, by practising our spiritual gifts in a safe environment and by exploring the Bible together.
Huddles
Once a month each Connect Group has a Huddle Week. Huddles allow time for each person to listen and be listened to. The group splits into 2s and 3s and each person has 10 mins to share:
1) what’s been going on for you in the last month?
2) what’s something you’ve noticed God doing in you?
3) what would you love Jesus to do in the next month?
They then then receive 10 mins of prayer before the next person in the Huddle gets to do the same.
We have found Huddles to be transformative for those who are willing to engage in them.
