It can be hard to connect. There are a lot of people around on a Sunday and it can be difficult to get to know people. One of our values at Plymouth Christian Centre is that we are people-focused. We want to be a church that is constantly and naturally reaching out to unchurched people and to be a church where people can belong and experience community and play their part.
“He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
– Ephesians 4:16 (NLT)
What is connect?
It is our vision that every person at church is connected in some way other than through Sunday attendance. We want to create and develop more intentional points for people to connect and belong – whether you are new to the church or have been attending for years.
Connect is an invitation to build friendships through common interests, volunteering and discipleship. We can all play our part in building up and enriching our in-house community as we create opportunities to invite unchurched friends and relatives to the knowledge of Jesus.
How does it work?
Check out our Connect streams below and sign up to a lunch, group or volunteer team. We will then get in touch with further details. While in the building, you can do this through our Connect Corner.

Connect Lunches
A free lunch running once a month on a Sunday after the morning service. A chance to have a light lunch together, be introduced to the staff and elders, get to know what is going on and how you might take a next step to get involved. A great place to get to know a few names and faces. Book on to our next Connect Lunch.
Activity Groups
These groups focus on a shared interest or activity and run for set periods of time throughout the year. This might be a book club, walking group, or a sailing group etc. A great place to meet and have fun and get to know a few people.
Community Groups
These groups help people to grow in faith, share life and provide care for one another. An opportunity for people to meet and talk about the Bible and what it teaches and how it applies to our everyday life. They can provide a great support network.
Volunteer Groups
Getting involved by volunteering is one of the best ways to grow and get connected and get to know other people. We have a variety of volunteer groups (or teams) which you can join - from worship/multimedia, coffee, welcome or children/youth.
Discipleship Groups
These small groups/triplets provide both connection and the opportunity to be discipled in the fundamentals of the Christian faith. These groups are aimed at growing faith, knowledge, spirituality and a deepening relationship with Jesus.
PASTORAL CARE
We live in unusual times, and we understand that today more than ever, we need to transit life along with each other. So if you would like help or support in any way or would just like a friendly chat with someone, please contact us, and someone from our pastoral team will be in touch. We would love to hear from you.
