CONNECT CHURCH / NORTHWEST GEORGIA

Our Story

1 / Why Connect Church?

A heart for people.
A place to serve.

We believe God has given us an opportunity to begin a new church in Murray County—one that helps people know Jesus, grow together, and put their God-given gifts into action.

Our desire is to build an outward-focused community where sharing the gospel, caring for our neighbors, and equipping people to serve shape everyday church life. We want to help people discover how God has gifted them, develop those gifts, and find meaningful opportunities to use them for His glory.

We are grateful for the churches faithfully serving our region. Connect Church seeks to contribute to that shared work by building relationships, developing leaders, and reaching people with the hope of Jesus.

Whether you are exploring faith, looking for community, or sensing a call to serve, we invite you to explore what God may have for you here.

Same Gospel. New Connections.

2 / Why Murray County?

Deep roots.
An unfolding story.

Murray County is home, and our love for this community runs deep.

As we have prayed about Connect Church, we believe the Lord has opened doors in ways that can only be described as extraordinary. Those opportunities have strengthened our conviction that this is where we are called to begin.

We believe God is at work in our community. With gratitude and expectancy, we want to join what He is doing—serving our neighbors, sharing the hope of Jesus, and helping people discover their place in His mission.

3 / The church we’re building

A faith to share.
A community to belong to.

Built on four foundations. Lived out together.

Connect Church is being built on four foundations: connecting people to Jesus, one another, their purpose, and His mission. Small groups will be at the heart of our life together, and outreach will be a shared expression of our faith.

A place to be known.

We want people to have a place where they are known by name and can ask honest questions without feeling judged for where they are in their journey.

We will encourage open, honest dialogue and welcome difficult questions. Together, we will study Scripture, pray for one another, and seek answers grounded in God’s Word. Our desire is to see genuine discipleship—people growing in their understanding, deepening their faith, and learning to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Relationships beyond a weekly meeting.

Our desire is for people to share meals, celebrate milestones, walk through difficulties, and serve their neighbors together. Small groups will be a place to build those relationships and find encouragement through everyday life.

A community that reaches outward.

From that community, we will help people discover and develop their God-given gifts and put them into action. Together, we will reach outward, meeting practical needs and sharing the hope of Jesus in Murray County and beyond.

Know Jesus. Be known.
Grow together. Live on mission.
