Connect to the community


In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), Jesus tells us to “go and make disciples” and to “teach” others about Him. What better way to “go” and “teach” than to intentionally put ourselves in the community and share the great news of God’s love and Christ’s sacrifice with those who may not know about it? One aspect of Christ’s mandate in Matthew is to plant churches, and by planting ourselves in our community, we can work together to help fulfill that Commission.


In addition to sharing the Gospel, Connect Church believes in being involved in helping and serving our local community. From serving at Family Promise, to working together to provide for those in need, we are committed to being a beacon of Christ's love and hope to the community. For more information on local ministries we support and partner with, please see our Missions Giving page here.


Please check this page often as all of our community service opportunities will be posted here along with ways you can be involved.
