CONNECT


Connect Groups at The Village One of the goals of our church is to help you find connection

with God and others. In a great church like The Village, you

have to be intentional about your connection. You have to

purposefully decide to volunteer and participate in a group;

both of which you will find rewarding and satisfying as you

will make friends, build relationships, and find support and

encouragement for your life. Your knowledge and practical application

of God’s word will grow exponentially as you join with others in the study

of His word.

Celebrate - describes our worship.

Psalms 145:7, “They will celebrate Your abundant goodness and joyfully sing

of Your righteousness.” Our worship is found and formed in our understanding

of God’s grace. Jesus died on the cross for my sin and when I open my heart

to Him, I find forgiveness, purpose, and a new pattern for living. In celebration,

we are also reminded to share God’s grace in words, thoughts and deeds.

We are people who celebrate the goodness of God in every circumstance

and situation.

Connect - describes our relationships.

Acts 2:44, “All the believers were together and had everything in common.”

God created us to live in community. We reflect Him when we live connected

to others. Connection entices a lonely world to join us. With intention, we con-

nect through seminars, classes, coffee houses and connect groups and in our

Café. Our deep desire to connect encourages us to help others connect also.

Care - describes our service to each other and the world.

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave…” Meaningful service is

important to everyone at The Village. So we volunteer with enthusiasm to

make a difference in each other, our community, and the world. We seek out

those in need in our local community, and around the globe so the love of Christ

may be observed through us.
