CONNECT GROUPS
NEW!!! Connect GROUPs LAUNCHING in 2025
We will be launching new Connect Groups in February 2025, and we encourage all who attend our church to be part of small groups that will gather in people’s homes, in coffee shops or other venues in Rotherham and surrounding areas.
The purpose of a Connect Group is to train up the body of Christ through fellowship, prayer and study so each believer can exercise his or her gifts and talents when given the opportunity and to provide each believer with that opportunity. Groups will meet at least fortnightly.

Connect groups are a safe space for people to grow in the knowledge of who they are in Christ and to build relationships through:
- Prayer — a lifestyle of private and corporate prayer
- Worship — bringing glory to God in Spirit and truth
- Discipleship — growing and maturing in faith, asking questions, following Jesus
- Unity — living, growing and sharing life together, family
- Evangelism — proclaiming the good news of Jesus, sharing faith, serving others
- Holy Spirit— spiritual formation through surrender and empowerment
- The Word — through teaching and study, submitted to the authority of scripture
Connect groups enable each person to fulfil the great commission of making disciples:
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
