Connect Groups at Compel Church are opportunities to connect with people who share your interests, who are at a similar stage in life, or who have experience in an area where you would like to grow. A group is 3-12 people who meet regularly at various times and locations.

The Need For Connection
At the center of the human soul is the need for connection. Without relationships, it is impossible to thrive. Connect Groups open the door to form those healthy relationships while encouraging others to take their next step in their walk with Christ.
