2 get connected Bridge church is a church with a big vision we re an incredible community of people who do life together. We are convinced that belonging is an essential part of life. As our church increases in size, we need to discover relevant ways of connecting people. It s through Connect Groups that a large church becomes small, personal and real. Throughout the week, we have hundreds of people meeting regularly. People connect naturally around common interests and so the groups range from Bible studies to cooking groups and everything in between. Whilst every group looks different, our Connect Groups fulfill three key purposes. Grow in your faith as a follower of Jesus 3 KEY PURPOSES Serve God by discovering and understanding your unique spiritual gifts Relate to others in a meaningful way
