At Connexus, we want to be the easiest church for you to invite the people you love. Why? Because we believe that a simple invitation can lead to life change. We exist to help people discover Jesus, the one who brings the meaning, purpose, and intentionality they are searching for.
This Christmas season, we have some incredible opportunities for you to extend that invitation and be part of something bigger. We know that the holiday season is one of the most natural times to invite people to experience the hope of Jesus, and we don’t want you to miss out on these key moments to bring others along for the journey. (And yes, they’re all free!)
NEW SERIES: Advent: A Countdown To Christmas
On Sundays this December, we’re excited to invite you to join us in counting down to Christmas with our Advent series, a meaningful way to engage in the season with your family and friends. Each week we’ll explore key themes of Advent—Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love —through Scripture, candlelighting, music, fun, and prayer as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ. With messages from Jeff Brodie, Christine Birch, and Deniel Sewell, this series is designed to help you slow down and focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

At Connexus, we believe that life change happens through relationships—and often, it starts with a simple invitation. This Christmas, we have the privilege of sharing the hope of Jesus with our communities, and we want you to be part of that. God is FOR our community, and we believe that as a church, we should be FOR them too.
What an incredible privilege it is to be on mission together this Christmas season! We can’t wait to see what God will do in and through each of us.
