Biblical Foundation for Connect Groups:
In the book of Acts, Luke records the tremendous growth of the first church in Jerusalem. Small group meetings in homes were the foundation of the early church. Acts 5:42 tells us that the people met "in the temple courts" (large group worship) and "from house to house" (small group fellowship). Jesus did
much of his ministry in homes and early Christians continued to meet in homes for fellowship, study and discipleship.

Acts2:42-47
" They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

Acts20:20
" You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house."

Hebrews10:24-25
" And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Matthew25:35
" For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home."

Connect Groups Provide Support and Encouragement:
Hebrews 10.24-25.
" We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things. Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the LORD'S coming is getting closer."

Over 50 times in the New Testament the phrase "one another" is used to describe our relationships to other believers. We are instructed to love one another, pray for one another, encourage one another, bear one another's burdens, and build one another up.
