Connect Groups
At The Jefferson Church, Connect Groups create a safe space for people to intentionally share their lives with others, grow spiritually together, and encourage each other through the highs and lows of life. Connect Groups gather in homes, coffee shops, restaurants, and other places where people love to connect in our community. At its core, a Connect Group is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. We all need each other, and that’s why we have Connect Groups. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ or what your interests or hobbies are, there’s a Connect Group that's perfect for you!

I’m interested in leading a Connect Group? Where do I start?
You don’t need to have it all together to lead a Connect Group— you just have to be willing to let God use you. If you’re a first-time leader, join us for Connect Group Leader Training. We believe God uses Connect Groups to change people’s lives, and as a leader, you get to be a part of that.
- Step 1 – At TJC, we want you to join a Connect Group first. It’s important that all Connect Group Leaders be a part of a Connect Group before leading one. We want you to understand our heart behind Groups and give you an opportunity to connect with others first.
- Step 2 – Attend both sessions of Growth Track. Growth Track is held on the first and second Sunday of each month at 11am in our Growth Track Room.
- Step 3 – Reach out to Pastor Josh, our Connect Group Pastor. His email is josh@jefferson.church
