Connect Groups

These groups are right at the very heart of CCB life and are a brilliant way to meet others on a regular basis (groups meet either weekly or bi-weekly), worship together, study and apply God’s word and pray for one another.  They are places to be real, laugh a lot generally over some sort of food!

Our goal in the groups is to help each other grow in our relationship with God and reach out to others. We generally follow on from the talk on Sunday morning services in the notes we study.

As mentioned above Connect Groups meet mid-week during term time (day time and evenings) and most of the groups are mixed, although we also have some men’s and women’s only groups.

The Worship Playlist that is used in most Connect Groups can be found here and in the YouTube & Spotify links above.
