OUR PHILOSOPHY

WHY DO WE PRACTICE SMALL GROUP GATHERINGS?

Individual believers grow when they are fed spiritually, guided, equipped, and discipled by the leaders God appointed in the church. But overall, the Church is built when every member is functioning in their gifts, and encouraging other believers. The best way of practicing mutual encouragement in faith is to have regular small group meetings during the week. Many spiritual, emotional, and relational needs are met in small groups.

We call these groups - Connect Groups. As our church continues to grow, Connect Groups help us to stay connected to one another. They are semester-based and are started simultaneously twice a year. Each group has a definite beginning and a definite end and are 10-12 weeks long. After a break we open enrollment again with a new set of groups. Our groups are discussion based and different groups cover a different curriculum. People get to know each other, pray for each other, and form friendships within the bigger congregation by participating in different groups throughout the year. You do not need to attend The Bridge to sign up for a Connect Group, all are welcome!

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions that you may have in relation to our Connect Groups and we would be glad to answer your questions promptly.
