Our Mission
Globally: TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST WHO Glorify the father by RUNning FROM OUR INHERENT SIN AND LIVing IN LIGHT OF THE GRACE AND REDEMPTION OFFERED BY THE SAVIOR.
In Matthew 28 we see the last words of Christ: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matt 28:19-20)
locally: simply put, our purpose locally is to display an accurate picture of Jesus Christ to our community. As believers we're called to show the love of christ to those around us. connect church is here to be involved in lee county, to serve and be a light on a hill.
all people need christ and all people need his redemption and grace. There is no better way to show love to our community than to share the gospel and display the gospel to the people around us; we want to be known by our love and passion for our community.
Our Story.
Connections Fellowship began as an early service in the summer of 2009 and slowly transformed, with much prayer and diligent planning, into Connect Church. We launched as a non-denominational church plant in 2012 and began meeting independently in a school cafeteria. Over the past five years we have met at other places here in Sanford, NC before landing at 819 Woodland Avenue where we currently meet each Sunday.
Reconciliation with others.
Though each Christian has a personal relationship with God, that relationship is not individual or private. The Christian faith is not intended to be lived in isolation. We were made for community; relationship with God and with each other. The local church is not merely a place that we attend but a people to whom we belong. The Bible calls us members of the body (1 Corinthians 12:12-31) with the expectation that we contribute to the body for the glory of God and the good of His people.
Reconciliation with others means living in a Gospel-centered community together; a radical call amid a culture of mere attendance and casual involvement. It involves mutual love, care, consistency and authenticity as we seek to adorn the person and work of Christ with our lives.
