Here at ConneXion we are committed to community. We really work hard at nurturing a sense of community on Sunday nights and throughout the week. In part that is because we recognize the deep longing we all have to know and be known, to love and be loved. It’s also because we believe that we can’t truly be obedient Christians who are growing in our faith apart from community. We simply can’t ignore the many commands in Scripture about ‘one anothers’. We’re called to care for one another, bear with one another, laugh with and cry with one another, encourage and admonish one another. All of those commands and many more presuppose we are in community with other Christians.

There’s lots of ways to get plugged into community. One of the most important to the ministry of ConneXion is CGroups. The ‘C’ in cgroups stands for ‘community’, not ‘connexion’. In CGroups students meet with one another in the home of an ECC family. In that place they study God’s word together, but not in a merely academic way. Because they are together in community, they can bring God’s word to bear on each others lives in meaningful ways. It’s a beautiful thing and we’re inviting you to be a part of it with us.

CGroups meet Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. There is a grad group, a group for freshman girls, another all girls group and 8 coed groups. You can sign up for a group that fits you at Connexion this week and for the next few, or you can go to the small group page on the website and fill out the form. Groups don’t start till the week of Sept 15th. Between now and then, you’ll be contacted by a cgroup leader who’ll give you all the specifics you’d need to know.

We hope for our sake and for yours that you’ll accept the invitation to join us in community.
