Get Connected
Connect Groups are the heartbeat of HTBB. It is a place for friendship with others and friendship with Jesus.
Connect Groups meet weekly, fortnightly, and monthly. Most gatherings include a time of sharing meals, worship, discussion, and prayer. It usually takes 1.5 hours.
We have a range of meeting places from physical meetings (at church, a home, or a commercial venue), to online groups.
What happens after I sign up?
• One of the pastors will be in touch in the coming week• Your contact details will be passed on to the relevant Connect Group leaders to follow-up
• The relevant Connect Group leader(s) will reach out to arrange a date for you to try out a few sessions before a mutual decision is made to be formally added to the Connect Group (please note that each Connect Group will have its own onboarding process)
* If none of the existing open groups are suitable for you, we may place you on a waiting list, and will get back to you as soon as a suitable group becomes available. You can also contact us at connectgroups@htbb.org for further enquiries.
