They worshiped together at the Temple, each day met in homes
Acts 2:46a
In our community, we firmly believe that we're not merely a church with groups, but a church composed of vibrant, life-giving Connect Groups. These groups are where the heartbeat of our ministry thrives.
We hold a deep conviction that true discipleship flourishes within the embrace of meaningful relationships. Our Connect Groups, comprising fewer than 20 individuals from House of Praise, come together weekly for 60 to 90 minutes, nurturing spiritual growth and forging new, lasting friendships.
At House of Praise, our Connect Groups operate on a semester basis, lasting 8-10 weeks each. This rhythm ensures a constant flow of fresh energy and ideas, and it means you can explore different groups without the need for any 'awkward break-up' conversations. You know, the kind that starts with, 'I really like your group, but I just want to check out this other one... LOL!'
Whether you're drawn to activities like hiking or prefer the depth of a traditional Bible study, we have the perfect fit for you. And the best part? We offer both In-Person and Online Groups, so the choice is entirely yours!
