Our Connect Groups are small communities where faith is explored and lived out together. Each group has its own character, but all share a commitment to honest conversation, prayer, and mutual care. They are places to be known and to belong — to reflect on life and faith, to walk alongside others through different seasons, and to discover that following Jesus is something we do together, not alone.
​​
Connect Groups operate across various locations within West Lothian and Falkirk areas, mostly during evenings, so there will be a group that suits you if you’re interested in joining.

Contact us if you have any questions or want to arrange a visit a group and see if it's the right fit.
