Connect Groups are the front lines in caring for one another and building relationship beyond a Sunday morning. This is where passion and people meet. 

Connect Groups are relationship developed small groups designed around your every day passions and routines. This means each group is affinity-based and operate using a free-market approach. Connect Groups can be formed by anyone (become a connect group leader today), anywhere, based on their interests, talents, hobbies, etc. Connect Groups are held during the week at homes, coffee houses, libraries,  (now with Online options) or any available space where the Connect Group is comfortable gathering.

Connect Groups operate on a seasonal calendar (Fall, Winter/ Spring, Summer). View the connect group directory below to see a full listing of days, times, & locations.

Sessions last either 8 or 12 seeks depending on the season. Some groups end after the sessions other continue. We value your time and onsite groups last from 1 to 1.5 hrs.

We encourage you to commit to only 1 group per session in order to build real relationships, but you know what your schedule can handle. 

Connect Groups are open to everyone. NO, You do not have to be a member of St Mark to join a Connect Group. We highly encourage Connect Groups to invite their family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and others to participate in their Connect Group

A Connect Group Directory is  available below. The Connect Group Directory will list type, time, date, and contact information for every Connect Group.

No, you can continue growing in God through our weekend services, or begin to ENGAGE through our Growth Track, or even join a ministry team and begin to SEE God in your life …the choice is yours!

Connect Groups help to fulfill the mission of St Mark by creating places for us to ENGAGE and model the Acts 2:42-46 church. We believe it allows us to see God in our every day lives.
