Connect Groups are a way of providing a ‘Primary Care’ point for you as you travel through life @ Eastlake.

They are not a ‘Program’ or ‘Ministry’ – They continue to be a Strategy to fulfill the vision of the Church.

Connect Groups have the same vision as our church. ‘Growing a Community of People who Love God, Love Others & Serve the World’
