As part of our mission statement to connect people with God and others, we desire for people to be known in a way that is not possible in a large gathering.

Connection Groups typically gather on Sunday evenings in homes all over Linn County.

Each Sunday we provide questions based on the sermon to guide a discussion time into deeper spiritual understanding.

If you are looking to connect with others, flesh out the sermon in your own life, and invest yourself with a group of loving believers, Connection groups are for you! Click below to get signed up!

THE Catalyst                 Acts 8:1-8           April 12th, 2026

1.    Can you think of a moment in your life that felt small at the time but ended up changing everything?

2.    When you hear the phrase “the worst day of your life,” what kind of moments come to mind?

3.    In Acts 8, why do you think God allowed persecution to be the thing that scattered the church instead of something easier?

4.    What stands out to you most about how the early Christians responded after being scattered?

5.    How does Acts 8 change the way you think about difficult seasons or unexpected disruption?

6.    What is something hard or painful in your life right now that feels more like a setback than a “catalyst”?

7.    When life gets difficult, do you tend to withdraw, push forward, or something else? Why?

8.    What would it look like for you to “carry the gospel” through your current season instead of just trying to survive it?

9.    Is there a place, person, or opportunity God might be “sending” you toward through your current circumstances?

10.  What is one step of faith you can take this week to trust God is working—even in what feels like the worst moment?
