Real Relaxed Relevant Real. Interested in attending a stale environment filled with pretentious people with a “holier than thou” attitude? Neither are we. The people who attend Connect wear whatever they want, sit where ever they want and really want to connect to other friendly people. Connect is for real people with real questions. Relaxed. Sorry, no pews at Connect. Connect’s comfortable environment allows you to focus on something other than your sore butt. Church should be a laid-back place that people look forward to coming to. Chat over a coffee and a donut, rock out with Connect’s worship band, and focus on what God has for you. Relevant. If you’ve got questions and the bible’s got answers, why is it that so many churches can’t communicate it in a way that won’t put you to sleep? At Connect, you can expect messages that deal with today’s issues, give answers to questions you’ve always had, and provide you with practical strategies in an interesting format.
