Connect Group
WHAT HAPPENS AT A CONNECT GROUP MEETING?
You’ve probably seen Small Groups meeting and not even realized it. A small group looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people with a particular affinity or interest. At its core, a small group is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in Small Groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life giving conversation and request prayer. The topic of group conversation is typically based on the Sunday message, but the group itself can take place around a number of different activities, interests, locations, and/or serve projects.
HOW OFTEN DOES A CONNECT GROUP MEET?
Our Connect Groups meet for three semesters a year—winter/spring, summer and fall. During the semester, most groups meet once a week. Connect Groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.
WHERE DO CONNECT GROUPS MEET?
Connect Groups happen throughout the area in Bronx/NYC area.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL CONNECT GROUP STAY TOGETHER?
Most Connect Groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.
IS THERE CHILDCARE AVAILABLE?
Childcare varies from group to group. When you contact us about getting into a group we will let you know what groups have childcare available.
WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE FIRST GROUP I TRY?
The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you.
