About Connect Groups

We are gearing up for our second semester of Connect Groups. You may know them as small groups, home groups, or cell groups. Whatever you call them, the important thing is that you get connected.

The purpose of Connect Groups is to love and be loved, to be supported, revitalized and challenged, to get acquainted and build lifelong friendships. There is nothing better than connecting with others.

Below you will find a list of available Connect Groups. If you are interested in getting more information about a particular group or groups, please send an e-mail to info@thespringschurch.com with your name, phone number, and the name of the group(s) in which you are interested.
