Connect Groups (small groups up to 10 people)

We believe that real spiritual growth happens when we meet with other believers on a regular basis. Connect groups meet in homes during the week to develop relationships, learn more about God and His will for our lives. Even if you’ve never opened a Bible, it’s a great place to ask questions and find out what God says about everyday things.

Jesus formed the original small group. We call them the twelve disciples. Joining a small group is an integral part of implementing our church’s Plan for Discipleship, and we believe it’s crucial to your personal growth.

Each Connect Group has a personality of its own since each person brings something special to the group. Some groups do in-depth Bible studies while others discuss the weekly sermon and how to apply it in their lives. Groups eat together, fellowship together and serve together.

Does understanding it feel impossible, so you don’t even try?  In this six-week study, we want to help you understand why the Bible is the greatest tool we have.

ACTS – CATCHING UP WITH THE SPIRIT

There’s no better explanation for how to live out the Great Commission – following the instruction of the resurrected Jesus Christ to spread his teachings to all the nations of the world – than in the book of Acts.  It is a unique and crucial book that chronicles the story of God’s grace flooding out to the world through the lives of the apostles in the decades immediately following Christ’s ascension into heaven. Terri McClain will lead this bible study on Sunday mornings at 9am both in person in the Curriculum and via Zoom.  Books are $12.99.  Registration is open!  Classes begin April 18th.  Send an email to connect2uumc@gmail.com to register or text Terri @ 937-631-0059.
