FIND A CONNECT GROUP
WHAT ARE CONNECT GROUPS?
The Jesus is Lord Fellowship Connect Group concept is based on the New Testament pattern of church life. We previously referred to these groups as "cells" becasue of the role human cells play in our bodily development and survival. A cell is a living organism that forms the fundamental unit of living matter. Cells are necessary for creating and maintaining life.
In the same manner, Connect Groups are fundamental for maintaining and growing one's spiritual life. The groups are open to anyone who wishes to connect to God, to the church and to one another. Connect groups provide:
ENCOURAGEMENT
Connect Group members offer support and care to one another. Each group provides a friendly atmosphere where members lift up, support and inspire each other to grow more in Christ.
RELATIONSHIPS
It is very important that believers surround themselves with the kind of people who will help develop Christlike character in them. God's Word tells us, "He who walks with the wise grows wise." (Prov. 13:20)
Connect Groups provide an environment in which believers can learn how to live a life that is pleasing to God and walk in right relationship with others.
ACCOUNTABILITY
God commands, "consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy," (Leviticus 11:44). Through positive, godly relationships, we allow our lives to be an open book.
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up to Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament gows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work..." (Ephesians 4:15)
