Larry Dean

Connection Group Coordinator

Connection Groups are age graded groups that meet on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m. The purpose is to connect with God through the study of God's word; connect with each other by establishing meaningful relationships; and seek relationships with others in our community who need a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Whether you're a lifelong believer or new to the faith, Connection Groups are for you. We believe that God's Word has the power to transform our lives and we're excited to embark on this journey together.

So, come join us for a time of fellowship, learning, and growth as we seek to honor God and make a difference in our communities.
