Connect Groups
We love it when our congregation grow community in all types of “circles”. Our formal church circles are called “Connect Groups”.
These groups typically have a different and unique mix of three (3) elements. One, they are social, two, they are missional and 3, they are biblical. They look like formal bible studies, or get-together’s at a cafe, workshop, community, home or even online.
- If you would like to participate in a Connect Group please check out a group here
- NB: We love it when every follower of Jesus at Genesis lives out (and shares) the Good News of the Kingdom in informal circles at work, school, play – everyday!
