God did not design us to live our lives alone, but to be in relationship with Him and in relationship with others. As the Connections Director, I am excited about my role in helping people grow closer to God through Bible study and prayer, connecting people through community groups and outreach, and equipping and training people for service in God’s Kingdom as He seeks to renew our local community.

Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

“We don’t come to church, to be a church. We come to Christ, and then we are built up as a church. If we come to church just to be with one another, one another is all we’ll get. And it isn’t enough. Inevitably, our hearts will grow empty, and then angry. If we put community first, we will destroy community. But if we come to Christ first and submit ourselves to Him and draw life from Him, community gets traction.” C.S. Lewis
