Connect Church

CONNECT CHURCH / NORTHWEST GEORGIA

Worship fully.
Grow deeply.
Live on mission.

Growing in community. Serving on mission.

A place to belong.
A purpose to live.

Helping every generation know God, find community, and serve with purpose.

These are the ministries we are preparing as Connect Church takes shape. They express our commitment to connecting people to Jesus, to one another, to their purpose, and to His mission.

1 / Small Groups

Small Groups

Be known.
Grow together.

Small groups will be the heart of community at Connect Church. We envision groups of 8–10 people, creating room for honest conversation, meaningful relationships, and genuine discipleship.

Groups may include men’s groups, couples’ groups, and other gatherings shaped around people’s needs. They will meet throughout the week, with locations and schedules varying by group.

Together, we will study Scripture, pray, welcome difficult questions, and encourage one another to follow Jesus. We want people to speak openly without feeling judged for where they are in their journey, while building relationships of trust, care, and loving accountability.

Our desire is for these relationships to extend beyond a meeting—sharing meals, walking through difficulties, celebrating milestones, and serving our neighbors together.

4 / Children’s Ministry

Children’s Ministry

Known. Loved.
Growing in Jesus.

Children hold great value in God’s Kingdom today. At Connect Church, we want every child to feel welcomed, build meaningful relationships, and discover the joy of knowing Jesus.

Through interactive Bible teaching and engaging activities, we will help children understand God’s Word and apply it to everyday life. Our desire is for children to love coming to church—and, most importantly, to grow in their love for Jesus.

Confidence for parents. Care for every child.

We want parents to feel secure and comfortable entrusting their children to our care, confident that they are in capable, loving hands. Every children’s ministry worker will be required to complete an extensive background check and demonstrate a proven record of faithful service before serving with children.

Partnering with parents. Strengthening families.

Parents have the primary role in nurturing their children’s faith. Our desire is to walk alongside them—investing in children while encouraging and equipping parents to lead spiritually at home.

We want children’s ministry to strengthen family life. We recognize that families carry full schedules and that their time together is valuable. We will plan our services, activities, and events thoughtfully, making purposeful use of the time children spend in our care.

Through engaging Bible teaching, meaningful relationships, and practical support for parents, we want to help families grow in faith together. Our prayer is that parents will see meaningful growth in their children’s understanding of Scripture, character, and walk with Christ.

Helping parents raise Kingdom kids—known, loved, and learning to follow Jesus.

  • Intentional with your time.
  • Invested in your family.
  • Centered on Jesus.

5 / Youth Ministry

Youth Ministry

A faith they understand.
A life prepared to serve.

As students grow, we want to help them take the next steps in their faith—deepening their relationship with Jesus, understanding what they believe, and learning to explain and defend their faith with confidence, gentleness, and respect.

Through biblical teaching, honest conversations, and meaningful relationships, students will have room to ask difficult questions and explore how God’s Word speaks to the challenges they face.

Through a growing understanding of the gospel, we want students to develop assurance rooted in Christ and His promises.

Growing in faith. Putting it into practice.

Serving will be part of that journey. We want students to discover their gifts, take responsibility, and gain practical experience serving both the church and our neighbors.

We envision an intentional discipleship pathway that helps students:

  1. Know Christ personally and develop habits of Scripture reading and prayer.
  2. Understand their beliefs and thoughtfully engage questions about Christianity.
  3. Live their faith through their character, relationships, and everyday decisions.
  4. Serve others with humility, compassion, and growing responsibility.
  5. Share the gospel clearly and help others take steps toward Jesus.

Walking alongside families.

We will partner with parents throughout this process, supporting their role and respecting family time.

Our goal is for students to leave youth ministry grounded in Christ, growing toward spiritual maturity, and equipped to live, serve, and share their faith beyond their teenage years.

6 / Community Outreach

Community Outreach

Rooted in our community.
Reaching the nations.

Our outreach will begin with local schools and extend into the surrounding community. We want to build relationships, listen to the needs of students, families, and educators, and explore practical ways to serve alongside them.

Our own backyard will be our starting point. As we grow, we will actively seek opportunities to reach beyond our borders, support and send missionaries, and take the love of Christ to the nations.

Through practical care and sharing the gospel, we want to help people encounter the hope of Jesus. Specific partnerships and opportunities will develop as we listen, build trust, and discern where God is leading.

  • Listen and build relationships.
  • Serve our neighbors with practical care.
  • Share the hope of Jesus, locally and globally.
