Connect Groups
Welcome to the Connect Group/Pastoral Ministry of North City Church.
Connect Groups are small groups of people who meet together regularly in an informal environment - usually
in homes or work places, but potentially anywhere! We have Connect Groups for Young People, Adults of a variety
of age groups. Connect Groups generally fortnightly, although some meet weekly.
We desire to be continually developing the Connect group network with groups of people who have interest
specific interest or recreational pursuits.
People can easily attend church, be part of a large crowd but never really get involved, make friends, develop their spiritual gifts and be accountable in a practical way. Our Connect Groups fulfil these important elements of church Connect. As we get bigger, we have to get smaller at the same time - we do this through Connect Groups. Celebration Meetings are a time to join together as one body and Connect Groups provide fellowship, support, and relationships with others who love the Lord as we do. Connect Group Leaders are also available to pray, visit, counsel and support their members in any way needed.
We would therefore encourage everybody not only to be part of our Celebration Meetings, but also to be vitally connected to a Connect Group.
