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!
