April 10 - June 26, 7 pm - 8 pm

Close relationships, with other Christians, is key in developing and maintaining a mature spiritual walk with Christ. At Living Word, we offer Connect Groups: small groups of people who meet together for the purpose of connecting to God, to one another, and to the church. They also allow us to minister effectively through studying God’s Word, praying, and caring for one another.
 
Our connect groups are at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays and begin with sharing a meal (serving lines open at 6 pm). After we eat, we simply take our children to their classrooms, and join a small group of people in the class of our choice.
