Connect Small Groups

Connect Small Groups

Welcome to the Connect Small Group Ministry of Rostrevor Baptist Church.

What are Connect Small Groups?

Connect Groups are small groups of people who meet together regularly in an informal environment – usually in homes but potentially could be anywhere! Our vision is to provide Connect Groups that are Loving, Inclusive, and Invitational. Groups which provide and nurture an environment where every person can find a place to belong and participate in our four ministry foundations of reaching up, reaching out, reaching down and reaching around.

We also have Special Interest Small Groups, which get together over a mutual interest, need or hobby.

Why join a Connect Small Group?

It is difficult to get to know people and form meaningful relationships when there is a large number of people gathered. We often don’t get past the superficial.   A great way to really get to know others, and to connect into the fellowship at RBC is by joining a Connect Small Group. At the same time you will be connecting more deeply with God and learning what it means to follow Him. In a Connect group you will enjoy fellowship, support, biblical teaching and fun!! We therefore encourage everyone to not only be a part of our services, but also to be vitally connected through a Connect Small Group. There is a Connect Group to Suit Everyone.
