OUR PURPOSE
We are created to glorify and find joy in God, walking in relationship with Him and reflecting His heart to others. As servant-hearted leaders, we embrace intercultural discipleship to embody Christ’s transformative love, walking humbly and boldly into diverse cultural and societal contexts to bring hope, renewal, and flourishing wherever God leads.
Every individual and culture contributes a unique and irreplaceable voice to the greater body of Christ, reflecting the vastness of His creativity and grace.
We do not bring this light by our own strength or intellect; rather, we reflect the light of Christ by abiding in Him — our true source of light — and by living in Christ-centered community with one another. As vessels of His grace, we carry the hope and peace of His Kingdom into the world — a Kingdom present now, yet still unfolding in its fullness.
Though we now see only in part, as through a hazy window, we hold fast to the great hope to come while trusting in the transformative presence already at work within and around us.
In every action — whether ordinary or extraordinary — we further His Kingdom, share His light, and invite others into the joy of knowing Him.
"Being part of Connect has meant for me personally that I know that I have people who are really tracking with me, interested in who I am, who I am becoming and helping me to grow and to thrive in the place that I feel called to. Connect is an important part of my growth journey and has profoundly impacted the person that I am today."
