Connection & Community

We believe scripture teaches us that we link to God and each other best spending intentional time together.

  • Studying God's word
  • Serving our community
  • Sharing our lives

We encourage everyone to join a connection group right away. 


We also offer extra connection points called elective studies that we encourage you to join after a connection group. 


If you are interested in learning more or joining a group, contact us using the form at the bottom of this page and we will help you get connected.

Current Study

Below, you can access each week's discussion guide. As you study and prepare to share during your connection group, we have also provided bible study resources below to help. 

  • Exploring Scripture


    Read Acts Chapter 17

    • What can we learn about sharing the Gospel from Paul in these three cities? 
    • When faced with rejection, how does Paul respond? What can we learn from his approach to dealing with such situations? 
    • How does Paul handle differing perspectives and views? 
    • Why do you think he can continue in these very different settings? 

    Paul’s experience in Thesolinica seems like a disappointing ending. However, reading his (Paul’s) letters to the Thessalonians, it is clear that his time there was not in vain. If you have time, read 1 and 2 Thessalonians to see how the community of believers ended up and Paul’s advice to continue as a community of Christ followers. 


    Warm Up

    • What experiences sharing the gospel have you had? Good or bad, and why?

    Digging In

    • Why did you put your faith in Christ? Or why are you exploring the idea of placing your faith in Christ? 
    • What should our motivation be to share the Gospel message? 
    • Have you shared the good news with anyone recently? Why or why not? 
    • What gets in your way of sharing the good news? 
    • How can we support each other like the early followers of Christ? 

    Lord, lead us to a faith that isn’t content with simply knowing you but desires to boldly share you with all we encounter because we realize your love for them. Amen

Bible Study Resources

As we study the Bible, we must converse with other believers to ensure it is the spirit guiding our understanding. Like your conversations with your connection group, engaging other believers' and scholars' knowledge of scripture is helpful. Consider reading commentaries and guides as sitting down for coffee with someone you can't meet in person. You may agree or disagree on some things, but it challenges you to open your heart/mind to where you might have a blind spot, helps you better communicate your understanding, and helps you grow in your walk with Christ. Below, you will find resources we trust as you study God's word in preparation for your connection group.
