Connection Points
Here at citylife church we believe there is great value in connecting with others outside of our corporate worship experiences. We have found that the best way to connect with others is through our Connection Point groups. During the next twelve weeks, we have a variety of ways for you to build relationships, so enjoy browsing through this brochure as you look for opportunities to connect and grow. Take some time to e-mail or call a group leader or the church office to start making a Connection Point part of your citylife experience.
Current Connection Points:
