When it comes to global compassion, one of the places Connexus is involved is in the country of Guatemala. Not only have we been a part of a number of projects in Guatemala, but also many people in our community have gone there to serve. Most recently a team of students from InsideOut (Grade 9-12) […]

We’re so excited to have kicked off our new series, Not Actually Jesus in Orillia yesterday (and started Part 2 in Barrie). We hope this is a series that clarifies things for those who follow Jesus and those who are still investigating. The "to do" of Part One of the series is this: review what

So we’re wrapping up our week long series of posts about what we believe with a final statement about what we, at Connexus, believe about the church: We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by

So we launched our new series, Not Actually Jesus, by saying that truth matters. Life goes better when we cooperate with the truth, and even though sincerity is important, you can be sincerely wrong. So maybe you’re thinking about becoming a Christian, or you are a Christian and you wonder what the Christian life is

This one’s huge, friends. Many people today think all paths are equal, or that there are many paths to God. Here’s what we believe: We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when people place their faith in

This week as we callibrate our own opinions and beliefs about the Christian faith against what many Christians hold true about Christianity, here’s what we believe about humanity: We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a

It was a great day yesterday at our Barrie campus as we kicked off the new series, Not Actually Jesus (it launches this coming Sunday, June 6th at our Orillia campus!) As promised, we’re starting a discussion this week about what we believe. This should be fun, because the discussion was already ramping up in the foyer

You’ve heard us say it before, but we really value it when people apply what they’ve heard in a message. After all, information itself is of limited value. I know lots of things that have made zero impact on my life or made others’ lives better. The value is not in information alone – it’s

One of the things I love about Connexus is the people who volunteer their time to serve among us. I have a theory – everybody who serves is overqualified for what they do. During the week, they teach students, manage departments, repair engines, run businesses, treat patients, negotiate mortgages, raise kids and serve customers. On

So you may have noticed that there are quite a few more people at Connexus these days than there were even six months ago. We’re so very thankful that God continues to show his grace and that you continue to serve, give and invest in your friends. The reason we’re growing is because you keep
