Connect Groups
At New Hope Rising, Connect Groups are at the heart of our church—creating space for connection, growth, and building relationships. We’re passionate about fulfilling the Great Commission by winning souls and making disciples.
Power Discipleship
Connect groups are shifting gears for a season and meet at the church every Wednesday at 6:30pm for Power Discipleship. We have a meal together, discuss our Life Journal reading plan and then break out into men's, women's and youth discipleship groups.
Group Leaders
Connect Group leaders open their homes to church members, friends, and neighbors. A strong sense of community develops within these groups as they study, understand, and learn to trust
the word of God, as well as support one another in daily life.
