Connect Groups
Connect Groups are a key value to the life of Mahurangi Vineyard Church. We weren’t made to be alone, we were made to share and be in relationship.
Connect Groups in Mahurangi Vineyard are a place to do life together with people you know and maybe some new friends. Together we learn and grow as we delve in to what it is to Love God, Love People and Love Life. Don’t miss out on the rich experience of doing this as part of a Connect Group.
We have a range of Connect Groups, some carry on and others are only for the duration of the school term and then new ones start.
Below is a list of the current connect groups, please sign up below or text/email the leader if you’d like more information.
