Connection Groups   Revised as of March, 2012

The purpose of Wednesday evening Growth & Connection Night is to facilitate the process of moving people to the "next level" in their spiritual growth. Wednesday evening is not about programs as much as it is about creating an environment where people can deepen and grow in their commitment to Jesus Christ and service in the local church.

Find a group that fits you and embark on a life journey with other believers. It is God’s design for us to “do life” together, so join a connection group and build relationships at the same time.

If you are interested in joining a connection group, please contact the group leader via email. Some of these groups do not meet over the summer and over holidays, so please contact the group leader via email or Jason Ackerman at pastorjason@ecfchurch.org before joining.

Life Groups are an excellent opportunity to connect with a small group of people and “do life together.” These groups meet throughout the week and run for most of the year. Their main goal is to connect people and build relationships while studying God’s word. There are so many great testimonies that have come from these groups. Please take the time to try one out. If the first one does not work, that is okay. Try another one. Our heart is that you connect where you feel comfortable.

This group is all about men of God serving, socializing and holding one another accountable. We take time to stop and listen to what our heavenly Father has planned for us as the Spirit leads. Each of us are unique, and yet the same; we are all children of God.  We use GPS – connection with God, People, and Service - as the foundation of our group. We believe that as we grow and practice Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding,” not only will our own lives be enriched, but we will also impact the lives of generations to come.
