Make new friends and grow your faith

Connect and Thrive

When was the last time you really connected at church? Where you found faith, friendship and purpose? Beyond Sundays, your local Connect Group is the best place to meet new people and champion your faith. Available during the week throughout Christchurch, you don’t need to look far to find an open door and welcoming smile.

Our Connect Groups gather at various times and locations throughout Christchurch to host dinners, movie nights, Bible studies, and more.

Each week skeptics, seekers, and believers meet at various Connect Groups near you to hang out and explore life's big questions.
