Connect groups are the next structure for new small groups at St Mark's. A connect group is a small group of 6-12 disciples who seek to Connect with Jesus - Connect with Each Other - Connect with our Community.

These groups do this by, meeting regular (weekly or fortnightly) to do life together, share in the highs and lows of life, meet to study the bible together at the level of the group and to pray for each other. Unlike other small groups, Connect groups are organised around a missional area which the group are interested in or passionate about. Our hope is that Connect groups will be the backbone for St Mark's pastoral care and a safe place to belong for all, especially for our single Church family members.

Everyone is welcome in Connect groups whether you've been a Christian 2 minutes or 60 years, whether you feel like your life is a mess or that life's stabilised, whatever you're background, whatever your life style or relationship status, you are invited to become a part of one of our connect groups.

How do you become a part of one of these exciting groups? Well, first you fill in this form. And then Dan and the team will need to work out some initial groupings and seek leaders for groups. By the beginning of December Dan and the team will get in touch with the next steps.
